Expected results

  • A user-friendly and flexible tool for easy obtaining environmental Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) results of packaging waste management. This tool could be used by different European regions and municipalities in order to assist them in the decision-making process. It will be prepared for future updating to include new technologies of processes and it will allow users to change some parameters like: type of truck used, number of containers, total amount of waste collected, distance between the municipality and waste treatment facilities, etc.
  • A life cycle inventory database of packaging waste management technologies and treatments compatible with ELCD/ILCD and available for free to the LCA community.
  • Contribution to congresses, meetings, etc. to disseminate the project by means of presentations or posters in different international events about the state of the project. Major items will be packaging waste management, LCA and governance.
  • Publications about packaging waste management and the use of LCA for decision-making in this area.
  • Increasing knowledge about waste management and LCA within the area of the study and also at European level by means of dissemination and transferability.
  • Favouring the start-up of an Iberian LCA network of experts on LCA and waste management.
