1 Life Cycle Assessments What Are they? How They Can Help! Gary Jakubcin-LCACP Manager of Life Cycle Thinking Owens Corning, February 2, 2011
2 Objectives What is a Life Cycle Assessment LCA? Types of Environmental Impacts. Types of LCAs. How is an LCA used. Importance of an LCA & Functional Unit Examples of Life Cycle Data ACMA Committees LCI Project
3 ISO Definition of LCA It s a compilation and evaluation of the inputs, outputs and the potential environmental impacts of a product system through out its life cycle.
4 What is an Life Cycle? The term life cycle refers to the notion that a fair, holistic assessment requires the assessment of the following items; Raw Material Production Product Manufacturing Distribution A Use Phase Disposal Phase Inclusion of all intervening transportation steps.
5 Life Cycle Graphic Raw material and energy consumption Emissions to air, water and soils
6 Typical Impacts Examined Energy consumed (renewable & non-renewable) Global warming (greenhouse gases) Acidification (soil & ocean) Smog Ozone depletion Eutrophication (excess nutrients to water bodies) Eco-toxicology & human toxicology Depletion of minerals and fossil fuels Revised 3/11/2011
7 Types of LCAs Cradle-to-Grave Cradle-to-Gate Cradle-to-Cradle Gate-to-Gate Revised 3/11/2011
8 Four Main Phases of LCA Goal And Scope Modeling and Inventory Development Life Cycle Impact Assessment Life Cycle Interpretation Revised 3/11/2011
9 How is a LCA Used? Project work Optimize environmental product performance Optimize environmental plant performance Organizational Use Optimize environmental company performance Marketing Product environmental claims Competitive comparisons Revised 3/11/2011
10 Why is the LCA Important? It uses a quantifiable means for Multiple Attributes. It addresses all the Life Cycle Stages. It can allow for a more complete comparison because it uses the Functional Unit Concept. The Functional Unit Makes it Comparable
11 What is a Functional Unit? The quantified function provided by the product system under study, for use as a reference basis in an LCA. Examples: Light Pole Truck Cab Structural Assembly Case Enclosurer
12 Compare Steel Part to Composite Part with a 3.5:1 Weight Ratio Steel Part Mfg. MJ/Kg Criteria Primary Steel Production 26 25% Recycle Secondary Operation 4 to 6 Hot/Cold/Section Roll Field Install 30 to 35 Blast & Paint Maintentance "Use" Phase 30 to 35 Blast & Paint Totals 90 to 106 Cradle to Gate Total for the Steel part at 3.5 Kg = 270 to 318 MJ Composite Part Mfg. MJ/Kg Criteria Primary Raw Materials Glass & Resin Mix Secondary Operation 4 to 6 Comp. Part Mfg Field Install 0 Blast & Paint Maintentance "Use" Phase 0 Blast & Paint Totals 74 to 80 Cradle to Gate Total for the Composite Part at 1.0 Kg = MJ
13 Comparison of Impact Results for Material Life Cycle Typical for most Impact Categories based on Previous Studies
14 Compare Aluminum Part to Composite Part with 1.2:1 Weight Ratio Aluminum Part Mfg. MJ/Kg Criteria Primary Raw Materials % Recycle Secondary Operation 40 to 50 Extrusion or other Field Install 0 Blast & Paint Maintentance "Use" Phase 0 Blast & Paint Totals 141 to 151 Cradle to Gate Total for the Aluminum Part at 1.2 Kg = 169 to 181 MJ Composite Part Mfg. MJ/Kg Criteria Primary Raw Materials Glass & Resin Mix Secondary Operation 4 to 6 Comp. Part Mfg Field Install 0 Blast & Paint Maintentance "Use" Phase 0 Blast & Paint Totals 74 to 80 Cradle to Gate Total for the Composite Part at 1.0 Kg = MJ
15 Conclusions Based on Function Unit Energy for Composite Part across the functional unit life cycle can be less. Steel & Aluminum need Recycle to be competitive! Other life cycle issues not shown here. Transportation of Raw Materials (Kg-Miles) Transportation of Finish Goods (Kg-Miles) Energy and other burdens for installation
16 Next Steps for Composite Industry ACMA Green Composites Committee Issued White Paper on proposal to collect LCI data. ACMA Formed Sub-Committee; LCI Technical Committee LCI Technical Committee has developed a Process/Product Matrix 2011 LCI Technical Committee to issue RFP to start the data collection process.
17 LCI Product/Process Matrix MATERIAL IMPORTANCE TO PROCESS PROCESS Relative Process Importance to Market Styrenic Thermosetting Resin and LP Additive "E" glass Alumina Trihrate Calcium Carbonate Open Molding Vacuum Infusion 1 1 Pultrusion Compression molding Casting - Closed Mold Secondary bonding 1 1 Continuous Lamination Filament Winding Casting - Open Mold RTM 3 1
