2 End of Life End of life (EOL), in the context of manufacturing and product lifecycles, is the final stages of a product's existence Recycled Materials Energy Energy Energy Energy Energy Raw Materials Production Transportation Use Disposal Recycle Waste Waste Emissions to air and water Waste Emissions to air and water Waste Emissions to air and water Waste Emissions to air and water 2
3 Waste Hierarchy
4 Reduce, re-use, recycle. Example: want to understand the burdens of using a bag to transport groceries Reduce: don t use a bag, 0 burden/trip Re-use (life cycle of a bag = 1 burden) Use bag once, 1 burden/trip Use bag twice, 0.5 burden/trip Use bag 3x, 0.33 burden/trip Recycle (to recycle requires 0.4 burdens, arbitrary value for example) Then for using the bag and recycling once: ( ) / 2 trips = 0.7 burdens/trip (data for example only, not meant to represent an actual process) 4
5 Types of waste. Biodegradable waste: food and kitchen waste, green waste, paper (can also be recycled). Can be broken down, in a reasonable amount of time, into its base compounds by microorganisms and other living things, regardless of what those compounds may be. Recyclable material: paper, glass, bottles, cans, metals, certain plastics, fabrics, clothes, batteries etc. Inert waste: construction and demolition waste, dirt, rocks, debris. Will not degrade due to microbial decomposition. Waste Electrical and electronic equipment(weee) - electrical appliances, TVs, computers, screens, etc. Composite wastes: waste clothing, Tetra Packs, waste plastics such as toys. Hazardous waste including most paints, chemicals, light bulbs, fluorescent tubes, spray cans, fertilizer and containers Toxic waste including pesticides, herbicides, fungicides Medical waste.
6 Types of waste. All waste can not be treated equally We must be strategic in our end-oflife decisions for products.
7 Municipal solid waste? MSW: everyday items that are discarded by the public Also referred to as trash, or rubbish Includes packaging, food scraps, grass clippings, sofas, computers, tires and refrigerators, for example. Does not include industrial, hazardous, or construction waste.
8 Trends in U.S. Waste Generation EPA: Municipal Solid Waste Generation, Recycling, and Disposal in the United States: Facts and Figures for 2012
9 Trends in U.S. Waste Recycling
10 Current U.S. waste treatment 20 million tons % 29 million tons % % 136 million tons % Total: 250 million tons 65 million tons 10 Adopted from EPA 2011 MSW Facts and Figures
11 Source of MSW? Residential waste (houses and apartments): 55-65% of total MSW generation Commercial and institutional locations (businesses, schools, government, offices, hospitals ): 35-45%
12 Materials in MSW? Dominated by organic matter, biodegradable Organic matter or organic material, natural organic matter, NOM is matter composed of organic compounds that has come from the remains of organisms such as plants and animals and their waste products in the environment

14 Durable vs non-durable goods. A durable good or a hard good is a good that does not quickly wear out, or more specifically, one that yields utility over time rather than being completely consumed in one use. Examples: Bricks, refrigerators, cars, or mobile phones, cars, household goods (home appliances, consumer electronics, furniture, etc.), sports equipment, and toys. Nondurable goods or soft goods (consumables) are immediately consumed in one use or ones that have a lifespan of less than 3 years. Examples: cosmetics and cleaning products, food, fuel, beer, cigarettes, medication, office supplies, packaging and containers, paper and paper products, personal products, rubber, plastics, textiles, clothing and footwear.

19 Products with highest % recovery. Lead acid batteries, 96% Corrugated boxes, 85% Newspapers, 72% Steel packaging, 69% Major appliances, 65% Yard trimmings, 58% Aluminum cans, 50% Mixed paper, 45% Source: Wikipedia
20 Landfill: a place to dispose of refuse and other waste material by burying it and covering it over with soil
21 Landfill Cross Section (simplified) Monitoring Wells Vegetation Cover System Gas Collection Waste Leachate Collection System Liner System Water Table Morton Barlaz, CE, NCSU
22 CO2, Energy Offset Carbon Flow In Landfills Emissions Capture Fugitive Gas (CH4, CO2, VOCs) Decomposing Waste Residential Industrial Commercial Biosolids Stored Carbon Leachate (CO 2, VOCs) Morton Barlaz, CE, NCSU
23 Carbon Footprint CO 2 e = fugitive methane emissions + emissions associated with construction, operation, post-closure and leachate treatment - avoided emissions from energy recovery - carbon storage Notice: CO2 emissions from decay are not counted (biogenic). Fugitive methane emissions = CH 4 prodn. * (100- % collected) * (100- % oxidized) Morton Barlaz, CE, NCSU
24 Carbon Footprint "the total set of greenhouse gas emissions caused by an organization, event, product or individual."
25 Carbon Footprint CO 2 e = fugitive methane emissions + emissions associated with construction, operation, post-closure and leachate treatment - avoided emissions from energy recovery - carbon storage Notice: CO2 emissions from decay are not counted (biogenic). Fugitive methane emissions = CH 4 prodn. * (100- % collected) * (100- % oxidized) Morton Barlaz, CE, NCSU
26 Biodegradable Substrates Paper, yard waste and food waste are comprised of cellulose and hemicellulose These compounds are converted to CH 4 and CO 2 by bacteria under anaerobic conditions Several groups of bacteria are involved Bacteria: ubiquitous one-celled organisms, spherical, spiral, or rod-shaped and appearing singly or in chains, comprising the Schizomycota, a phylum of the kingdom Monera (in some classification systems the plant class Schizomycetes), various species of which are involved in fermentation, putrefaction, infectious diseases, or nitrogen fixation.

31 Waste To Energy First in 1885 in NY, NY Recognized mercury and dioxin emissions Clean Air Act 1970s and Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT, 1990s), many plants retrofitted or shut down Economics Plant costs million dollars Plants about tons per day Receive tipping fees Revenue from energy Revenue from ferrous and non ferrous scrap Carbon credits? 31 Morton Barlaz, CE, NCSU
32 Waste To Energy 32
33 Waste To Energy: Trade Off A typical WTE plant generates about 550 kilowatt hours (kwh) per ton of waste. At an average price of four cents per kwh, revenues per ton of solid waste would be $20 to $30. Source Is It Better to Burn or Bury Waste for Clean Energy Generation?

38 Recycling Single stream recycling: a system in which all paper fibers, plastics, metals, and other containers are mixed in a collection truck, instead of being sorted by the depositor into separate commodities (newspaper, paperboard, corrugated fiberboard, plastic,... (Wikipedia) Sorted stream recycling Understanding economic and environmental impacts of single-stream collection systems, Container recycling institute, Source: afandpa.org, 2011
39 An example: Paper Recycling Paper is collected and sometimes sorted Collected from municipalities, and from individual sources Brokers collect, sort, bale and re-sell to recyclers The paper is slushed into water, separating fibers, pulping Contaminants are removed Screening Centrifugation Washing Bleaching Others Fibers are then re-made into paper Source: afandpa.org, 2011

54 Life Cycle Inventory: End of Life Allocations in recycling.
55 Closed and Open Loop Recycling: Closed loop: material or products are returned to the same system after use and used for the same purpose again (Baumann, Tillman, 2004) Open loop: a product is recycled into a different product Production of P Use Product Disposal Recover Production of P Use of Product A Disposal Recover Production of Product B Disposal 55
56 Two Main Allocation Situations: Recycling Allocation: a virgin product is recycled or reused in a subsequent life There exists operations that are required by the virgin and the recycled products (shared operations) Example shared operations: virgin raw material production, final disposal Many ways to allocate the burdens of the common operations between virgin and recycled products Open loop recycling allocation is the most controversial issue in LCA currently!!!! 56
57 Allocation Methods in LCA: Example: virgin paper recycled twice and then disposed. Closed loop recycling example with products P1, P2, and P3. Primary material production (V 1 ) Production of Product P1 (P 1 ) Recycling of Product P1 (R 1 ) Production of Product P2 (P 2 ) Recycling of Product P2 (R 2 ) Production of Product P3 (P 3 ) Use of Product P1 (U 1 ) Use of Product P2 (U 2 ) Use of Product P3 (U 3 ) End of life (W 3 ) 57
58 Allocation Methods in LCA: Example: virgin paper recycled twice and then disposed. Closed loop recycling example.
