Scope:
Household and industrial/commercial waste packaging management

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT EvA
Main Objectives:
oProduce information about environmental costs and benefits of the
packaging waste management
oIdentify the most important aspects related with the packaging waste
management (processes, materials, ...)
Considering:
oImpacts: Waste collection, Sorting, Transport, Treatment and
Recovery operations
oAvoided impacts: Recovery operations (recycling - material,
incineration and landfill biogas - energy)

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT EvA
Methodology:
oLife Cycle Assessment (LCA)
oLCA is the “compilation and evaluation of the inputs, outputs and the
potential environmental impacts of a product system throughout its
life cycle” (ISO 14040).
oLife Cycle “Consecutive and interlinked stages of a product system,
from raw material acquisition or generation from natural resources to
final disposal” (ISO 14040).
oFocus on the end-of-life phase, which means certain methodological
adaptations
oFunctional Unit, System Borders, …

Portuguese economy
23
Methodology:
oFor the profile of the SIGRE companies, several databases were

oOthers
oFor the economical impact of the packaging waste management, a
Input-Output Analysis (IOA) based approach was used

o If we define an input coefficient aij , that quantifies the output of sector i absorbed by sector j per unit of its total output of sector j
o where,
– aij, is the input coefficient of product of sector i into sector j
– xij, is the amount of the product sector i absorbed, as its input, by sector j

o Since the final demand is normally exogenous or given, for economic purposes the problem is to calculate the output column vector X. To do that is necessary to pré-multiply the by the inverse of (I-A), commonly referred as the Leonfief inverse, that result in
Where – A denotes the net direct inputs of the coefficient matrix, – A2+A3+…+A∞ are, respectively, the 1st, 2nd, and n tier indirect requirements of the coefficient matrix.
