Les résultats de l'ACV reflètent les contributions de l'étape du processus à plusieurs impacts environnementaux, qui devraient être mutuellement comparables pour aider au processus de prise de décision. Les indices environnementaux agrégés permettent de traduire cet ensemble de métriques en un score final, en définissant les poids attachés aux impacts. Les valeurs de pondération reflètent la pertinence correspondante attribuée à chaque impact environnemental. Les schémas de pesage actuels sont basés sur une pré-articulation des préférences, sans tenir compte des caractéristiques spécifiques du système à l'étude. Cet article présente une méthodologie qui combine la méthodologie de l'ACV et l'optimisation de la programmation linéaire pour déterminer les actions d'amélioration de l'environnement qui conduisent à une production plus durable. L'ACV a été appliquée en utilisant la méthodologie d'évaluation de la durabilité environnementale pour obtenir deux principaux indices : les ressources naturelles (NR) et les charges environnementales (EB). Les indices normalisés ont été optimisés pour déterminer l'articulation optimale des facteurs de pondération qui conduisent à un indice mondial de durabilité environnementale optimisé. La méthodologie proposée a été appliquée à un secteur alimentaire, en particulier à l'industrie de la conserve d'anchois dans la région de Cantabrie (nord de l'Espagne). En maximisant la fonction objective composée des variables NR et EB, il est possible de trouver l'articulation optimale des poids qui identifient les meilleures options environnementales durables. Cette étude prouve que l'ACV peut être appliquée en combinaison avec des outils de programmation linéaire dans le cadre du processus décisionnel dans le développement de processus et de produits plus durables. La evaluación del ciclo de vida (ACV) es una herramienta poderosa para respaldar las decisiones informadas sobre el medio ambiente entre las alternativas de productos y procesos. Los resultados del ACV reflejan las contribuciones de la etapa del proceso a varios impactos ambientales, que deben ser comparables entre sí para ayudar en el proceso de toma de decisiones. Los índices ambientales agregados permiten la traducción de este conjunto de métricas en una puntuación final, al definir los pesos adjuntos a los impactos. Los valores de ponderación reflejan la relevancia correspondiente asignada a cada impacto ambiental. Los esquemas de pesaje actuales se basan en la pre-articulación de preferencias, sin considerar las características específicas del sistema en estudio. Este trabajo presenta una metodología que combina la metodología ACV y la optimización de la programación lineal para determinar las acciones de mejora ambiental que conducen a una producción más sostenible. El ACV se aplicó utilizando la metodología de evaluación de la sostenibilidad ambiental para obtener dos índices principales: recursos naturales (NR) y cargas ambientales (EB). Los índices normalizados se optimizaron para determinar la articulación óptima de los factores de ponderación que conducen a un Índice de Sostenibilidad Ambiental global optimizado. La metodología propuesta se aplicó a un sector alimentario, en particular, a la industria conservera de anchoas en la región de Cantabria (norte de España). Al maximizar la función objetivo compuesta por variables NR y EB, es posible encontrar la articulación óptima de pesos que identifique las mejores opciones ambientales sostenibles. Este estudio demuestra que el ACV se puede aplicar en combinación con herramientas de programación lineal como parte del proceso de toma de decisiones en el desarrollo de procesos y productos más sostenibles. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a powerful tool to support environmental informed decisions among product and process alternatives. LCA results reflect the process stage contributions to several environmental impacts, which should be made mutually comparable to help in the decision-making process. Aggregated environmental indexes enable the translation of this set of metrics into a one final score, by defining the attached weights to impacts. Weighting values reflect the corresponding relevance assigned to each environmental impact. Current weighing schemes are based on pre-articulation of preferences, without considering the specific features of the system under study. This paper presents a methodology that combines LCA methodology and linear programming optimisation to determine the environmental improvement actions that conduct to a more sustainable production. LCA was applied using the environmental sustainability assessment methodology to obtain two main indexes: natural resources (NR) and environmental burdens (EB). Normalised indexes were optimised to determine the optimal joint of weighting factors that lead to an optimised global Environmental Sustainability Index. The proposed methodology was applied to a food sector, in particular, to the anchovy canning industry in Cantabria Region (Northern Spain). By maximising the objective function composed of NR and EB variables, it is possible to find the optimal joint of weights that identify the best environmental sustainable options. This study proves that LCA can be applied in combination with linear programing tools as a part of the decision-making process in the development of more sustainable processes and products. تقييم دورة الحياة (LCA) هو أداة قوية لدعم القرارات البيئية المستنيرة بين بدائل المنتجات والعمليات. تعكس نتائج تحليل دورة الحياة مساهمات مرحلة العملية في العديد من الآثار البيئية، والتي يجب أن تكون قابلة للمقارنة المتبادلة للمساعدة في عملية صنع القرار. تتيح المؤشرات البيئية المجمعة ترجمة هذه المجموعة من المقاييس إلى درجة نهائية واحدة، من خلال تحديد الأوزان المرفقة للتأثيرات. تعكس قيم الترجيح الأهمية المقابلة المخصصة لكل تأثير بيئي. تستند مخططات الوزن الحالية إلى التفصيل المسبق للتفضيلات، دون مراعاة السمات المحددة للنظام قيد الدراسة. تقدم هذه الورقة منهجية تجمع بين منهجية تقييم دورة الحياة وتحسين البرمجة الخطية لتحديد إجراءات التحسين البيئي التي تؤدي إلى إنتاج أكثر استدامة. تم تطبيق تقييم دورة الحياة باستخدام منهجية تقييم الاستدامة البيئية للحصول على مؤشرين رئيسيين: الموارد الطبيعية (NR) والأعباء البيئية (EB). تم تحسين المؤشرات المعيارية لتحديد المفصل الأمثل لعوامل الترجيح التي تؤدي إلى تحسين مؤشر الاستدامة البيئية العالمي. تم تطبيق المنهجية المقترحة على قطاع الأغذية، على وجه الخصوص، على صناعة تعليب الأنشوجة في منطقة كانتابريا (شمال إسبانيا). من خلال تعظيم الوظيفة الموضوعية المكونة من متغيرات NR و EB، من الممكن العثور على المفصل الأمثل للأوزان التي تحدد أفضل الخيارات البيئية المستدامة. تثبت هذه الدراسة أنه يمكن تطبيق تحليل دورة الحياة جنبًا إلى جنب مع أدوات البرمجة الخطية كجزء من عملية صنع القرار في تطوير عمليات ومنتجات أكثر استدامة.

Low carbon options for the chemical industry include switching from fossil to renewable energy, adopting new low-carbon production processes, along with retrofitting current plants with carbon capture for ulterior use (CCU technologies) or storage (CCS). In this paper, we combine a dynamic Life Cycle Assessment (d-LCA) with economic analysis to explore a potential transition to low-carbon manufacture of formic acid. We propose new methods to enable early technical, environmental and economic assessment of formic acid manufacture by electrochemical reduction of CO2 (CCU), and compare this production route to the conventional synthesis pathways and to storing CO2 in geological storage (CCS). Both CCU and CCS reduce carbon emissions in particular scenarios, although the uncertainty in results suggests that further research and scale-up validation are needed to clarify the relative emission reduction compared to conventional process pathways. There are trade-offs between resource security, cost and emissions between CCU and CCS systems. As expected, the CCS technology yields greater reductions in CO2 emissions than the CCU scenarios and the conventional processes. However, compared to CCS systems, CCU has better economic potential and lower fossil consumption, especially when powered by renewable electricity. The integration of renewable energy in the chemical industry has an important climate mitigation role, especially for processes with high electrical and thermal energy demands.

Waste collection presents a significant influence in the environmental sustainability of municipal solid waste (MSW) management. Conventional door-to-door collection consumes high amounts of fuel for waste transportation, thus generating significant direct greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Pneumatic collection emerges as an alternative to conventional trucking system, comprised by an underground network of long distance pipelines that carries MSW fractions to a central collection plant where the waste is collected and compacted. Such systems represent a way of arranging waste collection in densely populated urban areas and have recently been used in the design of smart cities to control waste flows. While this technology apparently reduces direct air emissions, suffers from large energy demand derived from vacuum production for waste suction. This work compares both conventional door-to-door and pneumatic collection systems from a life cycle approach, obtaining that the latter accounts for 5 and 3 times more energy demand and CO2-eq. emissions than conventional collection, respectively. Results suggests that the electricity consumption and the origin of electricity have a significant influence on the results, since vacuum production is responsible for more than 99 % of the total impacts for pneumatic scenario, while diesel for trucking accounts to around 70 % of the conventional system impacts. Greener electricity mixes and less energy consuming materials are required in order to ensure the environmental sustainability of pneumatic systems.

Greywater reuse is an attractive option for the sustainable management of water under water scarcity circumstances, within a water circular economy restorative thinking framework. Its successful deployment relies on the availability of low cost and environmentally friendly technologies. The life cycle assessment (LCA) approach provides the appropriate methodological tool for the evaluation of alternative treatments based on environmental decision criteria and, therefore, it is highly useful during the process conceptual design. This methodology should be employed in the early design phase to select those technologies with lower environmental impact. This work reports the comparative LCA of three scenarios for greywater reuse: photocatalysis, photovoltaic solar-driven photocatalysis and membrane biological reactor, in order to help the selection of the most environmentally friendly technology. The study has been focused on the removal of the surfactant sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, which is used in the formulation of detergents and personal care products and, thus, widely present in greywater. LCA was applied using the Environmental Sustainability Assessment methodology to obtain two main environmental indicators in order to simplify the decision making process: natural resources and environmental burdens. Energy consumption is the main contributor to both indicators owing to the high energy consumption of the light source for the photocatalytic greywater treatment. In order to reduce its environmental burdens, the most desirable scenario would be the use of solar light for the photocatalytic transformation. However, while the technological challenge of direct use of solar light is approached, the environmental suitability of the photovoltaic solar energy driven photocatalysis technology to greywater reuse has been demonstrated, as it involves the smallest environmental impact among the three studied alternatives.

One-way packaging can represent up to half the environmental impacts of the food value chain and thus optimising its management is essential. Collective selective waste collection managed by authorised organisations (Extended Producer Responsibility, EPR), with or without Deposit-Refund Systems (DRS) are alternatives implemented at European level to handle this problem. Since there is no single simple formula that can be applied to every waste management system, this case study is focused on the entire Spanish model of one-way food packaging waste management, from collection of each fraction in specific containers to final treatment, considering eight different materials. For the analysis, six different impact categories were considered: abiotic depletion potential, global warming potential, acidification potential, eutrophication potential, ozone depletion potential and photochemical ozone formation. Results reveal that the recycling stage is the main stage contributing to the environmental impacts, but the environmental savings related to the recovery of materials in this stage compensates these loads and the system must be considered advantageous for the environment. By contrast, sorting plants present the lowest contributions and is the least significant stage. Significant environmental improvements (close to 10%) would be achieved by addressing the total bulk collection flow to mechanical-biological treatment and increasing the selective collection of light and glass packaging waste. This study can serve to identify common drivers that contribute significantly to the development of an integrated approach to waste packaging management and as baseline for comparison studies with alternative waste recovery technologies and systems.

Municipal solid waste (MSW) collection is an important issue in the development and management of smart cities, having a significant influence on environmental sustainability. Door-to-door and pneumatic collection are two systems that represent a way of arranging waste collection in city´s historic areas in Spain where conventional street-side container collection is not feasible. Since door-to-door collection generates significant direct greenhouse gas emissions from trucks, pneumatic collection emerges as an alternative to the trucking system. While this technology apparently reduces local direct air emissions, it suffers from a large energy demand derived from vacuum production for waste suction. The introduction of new normative frameworks regarding the selective collection of the biodegradable fraction makes necessary a comprehensive analysis to assess the influence of this fraction collection and its subsequent recycling by anaerobic digestion. As a novelty, this work compares both conventional door-to-door and pneumatic collection systems from a life cycle approach focusing on the biodegradable waste. Results indicate that, in spite of the fact electricity production and consumption have a significant influence on the results, the energy savings from the recycling of the organic fraction are higher than the energy requirements. Therefore, the pneumatic collection could be an environmentally-friendly option for MSW management under a circular economy approach in Spanish city´s historic areas, since wastes could be a material or energy source opportunity.

The methodology was based on a multi-objective optimization model that considered a distance-to-target approach. Although the three simultaneous objectives (maximal nutritional contribution, minimal greenhouse gas emissions, and minimal costs) could be divergent, the proposed model identified the optimal intake of each food product to achieve the maximal level of nutritional, environmental, and economic diets.

Crujeiras; Ángel Irabien; Rubén Aldaco;L'objectif principal de cet article est d'évaluer les impacts environnementaux associés aux opérations de pêche liées à la pêche à l'anchois européenne en Cantabrie (nord de l'Espagne) dans le cadre d'une approche du cycle de vie. La méthodologie d'analyse du cycle de vie (ACV) a été appliquée pour cette étude de cas, y compris la construction, l'entretien, l'utilisation et la fin de vie des navires. L'unité fonctionnelle utilisée était 1 kg d'anchois rond débarqué au port. Les données d'inventaire ont été collectées pour les principales entrées et sorties de 32 navires, représentant la majorité des navires de la flotte. Les résultats ont indiqué, de manière similaire à ce qui est rapporté dans la littérature, que la production, le transport et l'utilisation du diesel étaient les principaux points chauds environnementaux dans les catégories d'impact conventionnelles. De plus, dans ce cas, la production et le transport de filets à senne étaient également pertinents. Les impacts liés aux émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) suggèrent que les émissions étaient dans la fourchette supérieure pour les espèces de pêche capturées avec des filets de senne et que la valeur du potentiel de réchauffement planétaire (PRP) était de 1,44 kg d'équivalent CO2 par unité fonctionnelle. Les impacts de l'écotoxicité étaient principalement dus aux émissions de substances antisalissures dans l'océan. En ce qui concerne les catégories spécifiques à la pêche, beaucoup ont été rejetées en raison du manque d'évaluations détaillées des stocks pour cette pêche. Par conséquent, seule la catégorie d'utilisation des ressources biotiques a été calculée, démontrant que l'effort des écosystèmes pour soutenir la pêche est relativement faible. L'utilisation de la méthodologie de l'ACV a permis d'identifier les principaux points chauds environnementaux de la flotte de pêche à la senne coulissante ciblant l'anchois européen en Cantabrie. Les résultats individualisés par port ou par navire suggèrent qu'il existe des différences significatives dans les émissions de GES entre les groupes. En outre, la consommation de carburant est élevée par rapport à des pêcheries similaires. Par conséquent, des recherches doivent être entreprises pour identifier pourquoi la consommation de carburant est si élevée, en particulier si elle est liée à la gestion de la biomasse et des pêches ou si les décisions des capitaines pourraient jouer un rôle. El objetivo principal de este artículo es evaluar los impactos ambientales asociados a las operaciones de pesca relacionadas con la pesca de anchoa europea en Cantabria (norte de España) bajo un enfoque de ciclo de vida. Se aplicó la metodología de evaluación del ciclo de vida (ACV) para este estudio de caso, incluida la construcción, el mantenimiento, el uso y el final de la vida útil de los buques. La unidad funcional utilizada fue 1 kg de anchoa redonda desembarcada en puerto. Se recopilaron datos de inventario para las principales entradas y salidas de 32 buques, que representan la mayoría de los buques de la flota. Los resultados indicaron, en una línea similar a lo reportado en la literatura, que la producción, transporte y uso de diésel fueron los principales focos ambientales en las categorías de impacto convencional. Además, en este caso, también fue relevante la producción y el transporte de redes de cerco. Los impactos vinculados a las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) sugieren que las emisiones se encontraban en el rango superior para las especies pesqueras capturadas con redes de cerco y el valor del potencial de calentamiento global (PCG) fue de 1,44 kg de CO2 eq por unidad funcional. Los impactos de ecotoxicidad se debieron principalmente a las emisiones de sustancias antiincrustantes al océano. En cuanto a las categorías específicas de la pesquería, muchas fueron descartadas debido a la falta de evaluaciones detalladas de las poblaciones para esta pesquería. Por lo tanto, solo se calculó la categoría de uso de recursos bióticos, lo que demuestra que el esfuerzo de los ecosistemas para mantener la pesquería es relativamente bajo. El uso de la metodología ACV permitió identificar los principales focos ambientales de la flota cerquera de anchoa europea en Cantabria. Los resultados individualizados por puerto o por buque sugirieron que existen diferencias significativas en las emisiones de GEI entre grupos. Además, el uso de combustible es alto en comparación con pesquerías similares. Por lo tanto, es necesario realizar investigaciones para identificar por qué el uso de combustible es tan alto, particularmente si está relacionado con la gestión de la biomasa y la pesca o si las decisiones de los patrones podrían desempeñar un papel. The main purpose of this article is to assess the environmental impacts associated with the fishing operations related to European anchovy fishing in Cantabria (northern Spain) under a life cycle approach. The life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology was applied for this case study including construction, maintenance, use, and end of life of the vessels. The functional unit used was 1 kg of landed round anchovy at port. Inventory data were collected for the main inputs and outputs of 32 vessels, representing a majority of vessels in the fleet. Results indicated, in a similar line to what is reported in the literature, that the production, transportation, and use of diesel were the main environmental hot spots in conventional impact categories. Moreover, in this case, the production and transportation of seine nets was also relevant. Impacts linked to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions suggest that emissions were in the upper range for fishing species captured with seine nets and the value of global warming potential (GWP) was 1.44 kg CO2 eq per functional unit. The ecotoxicity impacts were mainly due to the emissions of antifouling substances to the ocean. Regarding fishery-specific categories, many were discarded given the lack of detailed stock assessments for this fishery. Hence, only the biotic resource use category was computed, demonstrating that the ecosystems' effort to sustain the fishery is relatively low. The use of the LCA methodology allowed identifying the main environmental hot spots of the purse seining fleet targeting European anchovy in Cantabria. Individualized results per port or per vessel suggested that there are significant differences in GHG emissions between groups. In addition, fuel use is high when compared to similar fisheries. Therefore, research needs to be undertaken to identify why fuel use is so high, particularly if it is related to biomass and fisheries management or if skipper decisions could play a role. الغرض الرئيسي من هذه المقالة هو تقييم الآثار البيئية المرتبطة بعمليات الصيد المتعلقة بصيد الأنشوجة الأوروبي في كانتابريا (شمال إسبانيا) في إطار نهج دورة الحياة. تم تطبيق منهجية تقييم دورة الحياة (LCA) لدراسة الحالة هذه بما في ذلك بناء السفن وصيانتها واستخدامها ونهاية عمرها. كانت الوحدة الوظيفية المستخدمة هي 1 كجم من الأنشوجة المستديرة في الميناء. تم جمع بيانات المخزون للمدخلات والمخرجات الرئيسية لـ 32 سفينة، تمثل غالبية السفن في الأسطول. أشارت النتائج، في سطر مشابه لما ورد في الأدبيات، إلى أن إنتاج الديزل ونقله واستخدامه كانت النقاط الساخنة البيئية الرئيسية في فئات التأثير التقليدية. علاوة على ذلك، في هذه الحالة، كان إنتاج ونقل شباك الصيد مهمًا أيضًا. تشير التأثيرات المرتبطة بانبعاثات غازات الدفيئة إلى أن الانبعاثات كانت في النطاق العلوي لأنواع الصيد التي تم التقاطها بشباك الصيد وأن قيمة إمكانات الاحترار العالمي كانت 1.44 كجم من مكافئ ثاني أكسيد الكربون لكل وحدة وظيفية. ترجع تأثيرات السمية البيئية بشكل رئيسي إلى انبعاثات المواد المضادة للحشف إلى المحيط. فيما يتعلق بالفئات الخاصة بمصائد الأسماك، تم التخلص من العديد منها نظرًا لعدم وجود تقييمات تفصيلية للأرصدة لهذا النوع من مصائد الأسماك. وبالتالي، تم حساب فئة استخدام الموارد الحيوية فقط، مما يدل على أن جهود النظم الإيكولوجية للحفاظ على مصائد الأسماك منخفضة نسبيًا. سمح استخدام منهجية آخر سلف مشترك بتحديد النقاط الساخنة البيئية الرئيسية لأسطول الصيد بالشباك الجرافة التي تستهدف الأنشوجة الأوروبية في كانتابريا. تشير النتائج الفردية لكل ميناء أو لكل سفينة إلى وجود اختلافات كبيرة في انبعاثات غازات الدفيئة بين المجموعات. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، فإن استخدام الوقود مرتفع عند مقارنته بمصائد الأسماك المماثلة. لذلك، يجب إجراء بحث لتحديد سبب ارتفاع استخدام الوقود، خاصة إذا كان متعلقًا بالكتلة الحيوية وإدارة مصايد الأسماك أو إذا كانت قرارات الربان يمكن أن تلعب دورًا.

The energy-water nexus is a concept widely established but rarely applied to product and, in particular, to food and beverage products, which have a great influence on greenhouse gases emissions. The proposed method considers the main nexus aspects in addition to other relevant aspects such as climate change, which is deeply linked with energy and water systems, and assessing process as well as product. In this framework, this study develops an integrated index (IWECN) that combines life cycle assessment (LCA) and linear programming (LP) to assess energetic, water and climate systems, enabling the identification of those products with minors energetic and water intensity and climate change effects and helping to the decision-making process and to the development of eco-innovation measures. In this case, the product assessed was one bottle (70 cl) of gin and two main hotspots were identified: the production of the glass bottle and the energy requirements of the distillation stage. Based on that, several eco-innovation strategies were proposed: the use of photovoltaic solar energy as energy source and the substitution of the glass bottle by a plastic one and by a tetra brick. The nexus results indicated that the use of solar photovoltaic energy and plastic as bottle material was the best alternative decreasing 58% the IWECN value of the production of one bottle of gin. The sensitivity analysis presented a strong preference for photovoltaic solar energy in comparison with electric power and for the reduction of the glass bottle weight or its substitution by a plastic bottle. The use of the IWECN index is extendable to any product with the aim of facilitating the decision-making process in the development of more sustainable products to introduce them in new green markets.

The energy-water nexus is a concept widely established but rarely applied to product and, in particular, to food and beverage products, which have a great influence on greenhouse gases emissions. The proposed method considers the main nexus aspects in addition to other relevant aspects such as climate change, which is deeply linked with energy and water systems, and assessing process as well as product. In this framework, this study develops an integrated index (IWECN) that combines life cycle assessment (LCA) and linear programming (LP) to assess energetic, water and climate systems, enabling the identification of those products with minors energetic and water intensity and climate change effects and helping to the decision-making process and to the development of eco-innovation measures.

Les résultats de l'ACV reflètent les contributions de l'étape du processus à plusieurs impacts environnementaux, qui devraient être mutuellement comparables pour aider au processus de prise de décision. Les indices environnementaux agrégés permettent de traduire cet ensemble de métriques en un score final, en définissant les poids attachés aux impacts. Les valeurs de pondération reflètent la pertinence correspondante attribuée à chaque impact environnemental. Les schémas de pesage actuels sont basés sur une pré-articulation des préférences, sans tenir compte des caractéristiques spécifiques du système à l'étude. Cet article présente une méthodologie qui combine la méthodologie de l'ACV et l'optimisation de la programmation linéaire pour déterminer les actions d'amélioration de l'environnement qui conduisent à une production plus durable. L'ACV a été appliquée en utilisant la méthodologie d'évaluation de la durabilité environnementale pour obtenir deux principaux indices : les ressources naturelles (NR) et les charges environnementales (EB). Les indices normalisés ont été optimisés pour déterminer l'articulation optimale des facteurs de pondération qui conduisent à un indice mondial de durabilité environnementale optimisé. La méthodologie proposée a été appliquée à un secteur alimentaire, en particulier à l'industrie de la conserve d'anchois dans la région de Cantabrie (nord de l'Espagne). En maximisant la fonction objective composée des variables NR et EB, il est possible de trouver l'articulation optimale des poids qui identifient les meilleures options environnementales durables. Cette étude prouve que l'ACV peut être appliquée en combinaison avec des outils de programmation linéaire dans le cadre du processus décisionnel dans le développement de processus et de produits plus durables. La evaluación del ciclo de vida (ACV) es una herramienta poderosa para respaldar las decisiones informadas sobre el medio ambiente entre las alternativas de productos y procesos. Los resultados del ACV reflejan las contribuciones de la etapa del proceso a varios impactos ambientales, que deben ser comparables entre sí para ayudar en el proceso de toma de decisiones. Los índices ambientales agregados permiten la traducción de este conjunto de métricas en una puntuación final, al definir los pesos adjuntos a los impactos.

Este trabajo presenta una metodología que combina la metodología ACV y la optimización de la programación lineal para determinar las acciones de mejora ambiental que conducen a una producción más sostenible. El ACV se aplicó utilizando la metodología de evaluación de la sostenibilidad ambiental para obtener dos índices principales: recursos naturales (NR) y cargas ambientales (EB). Los índices normalizados se optimizaron para determinar la articulación óptima de los factores de ponderación que conducen a un Índice de Sostenibilidad Ambiental global optimizado. La metodología propuesta se aplicó a un sector alimentario, en particular, a la industria conservera de anchoas en la región de Cantabria (norte de España). Al maximizar la función objetivo compuesta por variables NR y EB, es posible encontrar la articulación óptima de pesos que identifique las mejores opciones ambientales sostenibles. Este estudio demuestra que el ACV se puede aplicar en combinación con herramientas de programación lineal como parte del proceso de toma de decisiones en el desarrollo de procesos y productos más sostenibles. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a powerful tool to support environmental informed decisions among product and process alternatives. LCA results reflect the process stage contributions to several environmental impacts, which should be made mutually comparable to help in the decision-making process. Aggregated environmental indexes enable the translation of this set of metrics into a one final score, by defining the attached weights to impacts. Weighting values reflect the corresponding relevance assigned to each environmental impact. Current weighing schemes are based on pre-articulation of preferences, without considering the specific features of the system under study. This paper presents a methodology that combines LCA methodology and linear programming optimisation to determine the environmental improvement actions that conduct to a more sustainable production. LCA was applied using the environmental sustainability assessment methodology to obtain two main indexes: natural resources (NR) and environmental burdens (EB). Normalised indexes were optimised to determine the optimal joint of weighting factors that lead to an optimised global Environmental Sustainability Index. The proposed methodology was applied to a food sector, in particular, to the anchovy canning industry in Cantabria Region (Northern Spain). By maximising the objective function composed of NR and EB variables, it is possible to find the optimal joint of weights that identify the best environmental sustainable options. This study proves that LCA can be applied in combination with linear programing tools as a part of the decision-making process in the development of more sustainable processes and products. تقييم دورة الحياة (LCA) هو أداة قوية لدعم القرارات البيئية المستنيرة بين بدائل المنتجات والعمليات. تعكس نتائج تحليل دورة الحياة مساهمات مرحلة العملية في العديد من الآثار البيئية، والتي يجب أن تكون قابلة للمقارنة المتبادلة للمساعدة في عملية صنع القرار. تتيح المؤشرات البيئية المجمعة ترجمة هذه المجموعة من المقاييس إلى درجة نهائية واحدة، من خلال تحديد الأوزان المرفقة للتأثيرات. تعكس قيم الترجيح الأهمية المقابلة المخصصة لكل تأثير بيئي. تستند مخططات الوزن الحالية إلى التفصيل المسبق للتفضيلات، دون مراعاة السمات المحددة للنظام قيد الدراسة. تقدم هذه الورقة منهجية تجمع بين منهجية تقييم دورة الحياة وتحسين البرمجة الخطية لتحديد إجراءات التحسين البيئي التي تؤدي إلى إنتاج أكثر استدامة. تم تطبيق تقييم دورة الحياة باستخدام منهجية تقييم الاستدامة البيئية للحصول على مؤشرين رئيسيين: الموارد الطبيعية (NR) والأعباء البيئية (EB). تم تحسين المؤشرات المعيارية لتحديد المفصل الأمثل لعوامل الترجيح التي تؤدي إلى تحسين مؤشر الاستدامة البيئية العالمي. تم تطبيق المنهجية المقترحة على قطاع الأغذية، على وجه الخصوص، على صناعة تعليب الأنشوجة في منطقة كانتابريا (شمال إسبانيا). من خلال تعظيم الوظيفة الموضوعية المكونة من متغيرات NR و EB، من الممكن العثور على المفصل الأمثل للأوزان التي تحدد أفضل الخيارات البيئية المستدامة. تثبت هذه الدراسة أنه يمكن تطبيق تحليل دورة الحياة جنبًا إلى جنب مع أدوات البرمجة الخطية كجزء من عملية صنع القرار في تطوير عمليات ومنتجات أكثر استدامة.

Low carbon options for the chemical industry include switching from fossil to renewable energy, adopting new low-carbon production processes, along with retrofitting current plants with carbon capture for ulterior use (CCU technologies) or storage (CCS). In this paper, we combine a dynamic Life Cycle Assessment (d-LCA) with economic analysis to explore a potential transition to low-carbon manufacture of formic acid. We propose new methods to enable early technical, environmental and economic assessment of formic acid manufacture by electrochemical reduction of CO2 (CCU), and compare this production route to the conventional synthesis pathways and to storing CO2 in geological storage (CCS). Both CCU and CCS reduce carbon emissions in particular scenarios, although the uncertainty in results suggests that further research and scale-up validation are needed to clarify the relative emission reduction compared to conventional process pathways. There are trade-offs between resource security, cost and emissions between CCU and CCS systems. As expected, the CCS technology yields greater reductions in CO2 emissions than the CCU scenarios and the conventional processes. However, compared to CCS systems, CCU has better economic potential and lower fossil consumption, especially when powered by renewable electricity. The integration of renewable energy in the chemical industry has an important climate mitigation role, especially for processes with high electrical and thermal energy demands.

Waste collection presents a significant influence in the environmental sustainability of municipal solid waste (MSW) management. Conventional door-to-door collection consumes high amounts of fuel for waste transportation, thus generating significant direct greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Pneumatic collection emerges as an alternative to conventional trucking system, comprised by an underground network of long distance pipelines that carries MSW fractions to a central collection plant where the waste is collected and compacted. Such systems represent a way of arranging waste collection in densely populated urban areas and have recently been used in the design of smart cities to control waste flows. While this technology apparently reduces direct air emissions, suffers from large energy demand derived from vacuum production for waste suction. This work compares both conventional door-to-door and pneumatic collection systems from a life cycle approach, obtaining that the latter accounts for 5 and 3 times more energy demand and CO2-eq. emissions than conventional collection, respectively. Results suggests that the electricity consumption and the origin of electricity have a significant influence on the results, since vacuum production is responsible for more than 99 % of the total impacts for pneumatic scenario, while diesel for trucking accounts to around 70 % of the conventional system impacts. Greener electricity mixes and less energy consuming materials are required in order to ensure the environmental sustainability of pneumatic systems. The authors are grateful for the funding of the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness through the Ceres-Procom: Food production and consumption strategies for climate change mitigation (CTM2016-76176- C2-1-R) (AEI/FEDER, UE).

Greywater reuse is an attractive option for the sustainable management of water under water scarcity circumstances, within a water circular economy restorative thinking framework. Its successful deployment relies on the availability of low cost and environmentally friendly technologies. The life cycle assessment (LCA) approach provides the appropriate methodological tool for the evaluation of alternative treatments based on environmental decision criteria and, therefore, it is highly useful during the process conceptual design. This methodology should be employed in the early design phase to select those technologies with lower environmental impact. This work reports the comparative LCA of three scenarios for greywater reuse: photocatalysis, photovoltaic solar-driven photocatalysis and membrane biological reactor, in order to help the selection of the most environmentally friendly technology. The study has been focused on the removal of the surfactant sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, which is used in the formulation of detergents and personal care products and, thus, widely present in greywater. LCA was applied using the Environmental Sustainability Assessment methodology to obtain two main environmental indicators in order to simplify the decision making process: natural resources and environmental burdens. Energy consumption is the main contributor to both indicators owing to the high energy consumption of the light source for the photocatalytic greywater treatment. In order to reduce its environmental burdens, the most desirable scenario would be the use of solar light for the photocatalytic transformation. However, while the technological challenge of direct use of solar light is approached, the environmental suitability of the photovoltaic solar energy driven photocatalysis technology to greywater reuse has been demonstrated, as it involves the smallest environmental impact among the three studied alternatives.

One-way packaging can represent up to half the environmental impacts of the food value chain and thus optimising its management is essential. Collective selective waste collection managed by authorised organisations (Extended Producer Responsibility, EPR), with or without Deposit-Refund Systems (DRS) are alternatives implemented at European level to handle this problem. Since there is no single simple formula that can be applied to every waste management system, this case study is focused on the entire Spanish model of one-way food packaging waste management, from collection of each fraction in specific containers to final treatment, considering eight different materials. For the analysis, six different impact categories were considered: abiotic depletion potential, global warming potential, acidification potential, eutrophication potential, ozone depletion potential and photochemical ozone formation. Results reveal that the recycling stage is the main stage contributing to the environmental impacts, but the environmental savings related to the recovery of materials in this stage compensates these loads and the system must be considered advantageous for the environment. By contrast, sorting plants present the lowest contributions and is the least significant stage. Significant environmental improvements (close to 10%) would be achieved by addressing the total bulk collection flow to mechanical-biological treatment and increasing the selective collection of light and glass packaging waste. This study can serve to identify common drivers that contribute significantly to the development of an integrated approach to waste packaging management and as baseline for comparison studies with alternative waste recovery technologies and systems.

Municipal solid waste (MSW) collection is an important issue in the development and management of smart cities, having a significant influence on environmental sustainability. Door-to-door and pneumatic collection are two systems that represent a way of arranging waste collection in city´s historic areas in Spain where conventional street-side container collection is not feasible. Since door-to-door collection generates significant direct greenhouse gas emissions from trucks, pneumatic collection emerges as an alternative to the trucking system. While this technology apparently reduces local direct air emissions, it suffers from a large energy demand derived from vacuum production for waste suction. The introduction of new normative frameworks regarding the selective collection of the biodegradable fraction makes necessary a comprehensive analysis to assess the influence of this fraction collection and its subsequent recycling by anaerobic digestion. As a novelty, this work compares both conventional door-to-door and pneumatic collection systems from a life cycle approach focusing on the biodegradable waste. Results indicate that, in spite of the fact electricity production and consumption have a significant influence on the results, the energy savings from the recycling of the organic fraction are higher than the energy requirements. Therefore, the pneumatic collection could be an environmentally-friendly option for MSW management under a circular economy approach in Spanish city´s historic areas, since wastes could be a material or energy source opportunity.

The nutritional, environmental, and economic consequences of these dietary patterns must be taken into consideration when diet guidelines are proposed. This study applied a systematic optimization methodology to define sustainable dietary patterns complying with nutritional, environmental, and economic issues. The methodology was based on a multi-objective optimization model that considered a distance-to-target approach. Although the three simultaneous objectives (maximal nutritional contribution, minimal greenhouse gas emissions, and minimal costs) could be divergent, the proposed model identified the optimal intake of each food product to achieve the maximal level of nutritional, environmental, and economic diets. This model was applied to six different eating patterns within the Spanish context: one based on current food consumption and five alternative diets. The results revealed that dietary patterns with improved nutritional profiles and reduced environmental impacts could be defined without additional costs just by increasing the consumption of vegetables, fruits, and legumes, while reducing the intake of meat and fish.

La méthodologie d'analyse du cycle de vie (ACV) a été appliquée pour cette étude de cas, y compris la construction, l'entretien, l'utilisation et la fin de vie des navires. L'unité fonctionnelle utilisée était 1 kg d'anchois rond débarqué au port. Les données d'inventaire ont été collectées pour les principales entrées et sorties de 32 navires, représentant la majorité des navires de la flotte. Les résultats ont indiqué, de manière similaire à ce qui est rapporté dans la littérature, que la production, le transport et l'utilisation du diesel étaient les principaux points chauds environnementaux dans les catégories d'impact conventionnelles. De plus, dans ce cas, la production et le transport de filets à senne étaient également pertinents. Les impacts liés aux émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) suggèrent que les émissions étaient dans la fourchette supérieure pour les espèces de pêche capturées avec des filets de senne et que la valeur du potentiel de réchauffement planétaire (PRP) était de 1,44 kg d'équivalent CO2 par unité fonctionnelle. Les impacts de l'écotoxicité étaient principalement dus aux émissions de substances antisalissures dans l'océan. En ce qui concerne les catégories spécifiques à la pêche, beaucoup ont été rejetées en raison du manque d'évaluations détaillées des stocks pour cette pêche. Par conséquent, seule la catégorie d'utilisation des ressources biotiques a été calculée, démontrant que l'effort des écosystèmes pour soutenir la pêche est relativement faible. L'utilisation de la méthodologie de l'ACV a permis d'identifier les principaux points chauds environnementaux de la flotte de pêche à la senne coulissante ciblant l'anchois européen en Cantabrie. Les résultats individualisés par port ou par navire suggèrent qu'il existe des différences significatives dans les émissions de GES entre les groupes. En outre, la consommation de carburant est élevée par rapport à des pêcheries similaires. Par conséquent, des recherches doivent être entreprises pour identifier pourquoi la consommation de carburant est si élevée, en particulier si elle est liée à la gestion de la biomasse et des pêches ou si les décisions des capitaines pourraient jouer un rôle. El objetivo principal de este artículo es evaluar los impactos ambientales asociados a las operaciones de pesca relacionadas con la pesca de anchoa europea en Cantabria (norte de España) bajo un enfoque de ciclo de vida. Se aplicó la metodología de evaluación del ciclo de vida (ACV) para este estudio de caso, incluida la construcción, el mantenimiento, el uso y el final de la vida útil de los buques. La unidad funcional utilizada fue 1 kg de anchoa redonda desembarcada en puerto. Se recopilaron datos de inventario para las principales entradas y salidas de 32 buques, que representan la mayoría de los buques de la flota. Los resultados indicaron, en una línea similar a lo reportado en la literatura, que la producción, transporte y uso de diésel fueron los principales focos ambientales en las categorías de impacto convencional. Además, en este caso, también fue relevante la producción y el transporte de redes de cerco. Los impactos vinculados a las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) sugieren que las emisiones se encontraban en el rango superior para las especies pesqueras capturadas con redes de cerco y el valor del potencial de calentamiento global (PCG) fue de 1,44 kg de CO2 eq por unidad funcional. Los impactos de ecotoxicidad se debieron principalmente a las emisiones de sustancias antiincrustantes al océano. En cuanto a las categorías específicas de la pesquería, muchas fueron descartadas debido a la falta de evaluaciones detalladas de las poblaciones para esta pesquería. Por lo tanto, solo se calculó la categoría de uso de recursos bióticos, lo que demuestra que el esfuerzo de los ecosistemas para mantener la pesquería es relativamente bajo. El uso de la metodología ACV permitió identificar los principales focos ambientales de la flota cerquera de anchoa europea en Cantabria. Los resultados individualizados por puerto o por buque sugirieron que existen diferencias significativas en las emisiones de GEI entre grupos. Además, el uso de combustible es alto en comparación con pesquerías similares. Por lo tanto, es necesario realizar investigaciones para identificar por qué el uso de combustible es tan alto, particularmente si está relacionado con la gestión de la biomasa y la pesca o si las decisiones de los patrones podrían desempeñar un papel. The main purpose of this article is to assess the environmental impacts associated with the fishing operations related to European anchovy fishing in Cantabria (northern Spain) under a life cycle approach. The life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology was applied for this case study including construction, maintenance, use, and end of life of the vessels. The functional unit used was 1 kg of landed round anchovy at port. Inventory data were collected for the main inputs and outputs of 32 vessels, representing a majority of vessels in the fleet. Results indicated, in a similar line to what is reported in the literature, that the production, transportation, and use of diesel were the main environmental hot spots in conventional impact categories. Moreover, in this case, the production and transportation of seine nets was also relevant. Impacts linked to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions suggest that emissions were in the upper range for fishing species captured with seine nets and the value of global warming potential (GWP) was 1.44 kg CO2 eq per functional unit. The ecotoxicity impacts were mainly due to the emissions of antifouling substances to the ocean. Regarding fishery-specific categories, many were discarded given the lack of detailed stock assessments for this fishery. Hence, only the biotic resource use category was computed, demonstrating that the ecosystems' effort to sustain the fishery is relatively low. The use of the LCA methodology allowed identifying the main environmental hot spots of the purse seining fleet targeting European anchovy in Cantabria. Individualized results per port or per vessel suggested that there are significant differences in GHG emissions between groups. In addition, fuel use is high when compared to similar fisheries. Therefore, research needs to be undertaken to identify why fuel use is so high, particularly if it is related to biomass and fisheries management or if skipper decisions could play a role. الغرض الرئيسي من هذه المقالة هو تقييم الآثار البيئية المرتبطة بعمليات الصيد المتعلقة بصيد الأنشوجة الأوروبي في كانتابريا (شمال إسبانيا) في إطار نهج دورة الحياة. تم تطبيق منهجية تقييم دورة الحياة (LCA) لدراسة الحالة هذه بما في ذلك بناء السفن وصيانتها واستخدامها ونهاية عمرها. كانت الوحدة الوظيفية المستخدمة هي 1 كجم من الأنشوجة المستديرة في الميناء. تم جمع بيانات المخزون للمدخلات والمخرجات الرئيسية لـ 32 سفينة، تمثل غالبية السفن في الأسطول. أشارت النتائج، في سطر مشابه لما ورد في الأدبيات، إلى أن إنتاج الديزل ونقله واستخدامه كانت النقاط الساخنة البيئية الرئيسية في فئات التأثير التقليدية. علاوة على ذلك، في هذه الحالة، كان إنتاج ونقل شباك الصيد مهمًا أيضًا. تشير التأثيرات المرتبطة بانبعاثات غازات الدفيئة إلى أن الانبعاثات كانت في النطاق العلوي لأنواع الصيد التي تم التقاطها بشباك الصيد وأن قيمة إمكانات الاحترار العالمي كانت 1.44 كجم من مكافئ ثاني أكسيد الكربون لكل وحدة وظيفية. ترجع تأثيرات السمية البيئية بشكل رئيسي إلى انبعاثات المواد المضادة للحشف إلى المحيط. فيما يتعلق بالفئات الخاصة بمصائد الأسماك، تم التخلص من العديد منها نظرًا لعدم وجود تقييمات تفصيلية للأرصدة لهذا النوع من مصائد الأسماك. وبالتالي، تم حساب فئة استخدام الموارد الحيوية فقط، مما يدل على أن جهود النظم الإيكولوجية للحفاظ على مصائد الأسماك منخفضة نسبيًا. سمح استخدام منهجية آخر سلف مشترك بتحديد النقاط الساخنة البيئية الرئيسية لأسطول الصيد بالشباك الجرافة التي تستهدف الأنشوجة الأوروبية في كانتابريا. تشير النتائج الفردية لكل ميناء أو لكل سفينة إلى وجود اختلافات كبيرة في انبعاثات غازات الدفيئة بين المجموعات. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، فإن استخدام الوقود مرتفع عند مقارنته بمصائد الأسماك المماثلة. لذلك، يجب إجراء بحث لتحديد سبب ارتفاع استخدام الوقود، خاصة إذا كان متعلقًا بالكتلة الحيوية وإدارة مصايد الأسماك أو إذا كانت قرارات الربان يمكن أن تلعب دورًا.

Por lo tanto, es necesario realizar investigaciones para identificar por qué el uso de combustible es tan alto, particularmente si está relacionado con la gestión de la biomasa y la pesca o si las decisiones de los patrones podrían desempeñar un papel. The main purpose of this article is to assess the environmental impacts associated with the fishing operations related to European anchovy fishing in Cantabria (northern Spain) under a life cycle approach. The life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology was applied for this case study including construction, maintenance, use, and end of life of the vessels. The functional unit used was 1 kg of landed round anchovy at port. Inventory data were collected for the main inputs and outputs of 32 vessels, representing a majority of vessels in the fleet. Results indicated, in a similar line to what is reported in the literature, that the production, transportation, and use of diesel were the main environmental hot spots in conventional impact categories. Moreover, in this case, the production and transportation of seine nets was also relevant. Impacts linked to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions suggest that emissions were in the upper range for fishing species captured with seine nets and the value of global warming potential (GWP) was 1.44 kg CO2 eq per functional unit. The ecotoxicity impacts were mainly due to the emissions of antifouling substances to the ocean. Regarding fishery-specific categories, many were discarded given the lack of detailed stock assessments for this fishery. Hence, only the biotic resource use category was computed, demonstrating that the ecosystems' effort to sustain the fishery is relatively low. The use of the LCA methodology allowed identifying the main environmental hot spots of the purse seining fleet targeting European anchovy in Cantabria. Individualized results per port or per vessel suggested that there are significant differences in GHG emissions between groups. In addition, fuel use is high when compared to similar fisheries. Therefore, research needs to be undertaken to identify why fuel use is so high, particularly if it is related to biomass and fisheries management or if skipper decisions could play a role. الغرض الرئيسي من هذه المقالة هو تقييم الآثار البيئية المرتبطة بعمليات الصيد المتعلقة بصيد الأنشوجة الأوروبي في كانتابريا (شمال إسبانيا) في إطار نهج دورة الحياة. تم تطبيق منهجية تقييم دورة الحياة (LCA) لدراسة الحالة هذه بما في ذلك بناء السفن وصيانتها واستخدامها ونهاية عمرها. كانت الوحدة الوظيفية المستخدمة هي 1 كجم من الأنشوجة المستديرة في الميناء. تم جمع بيانات المخزون للمدخلات والمخرجات الرئيسية لـ 32 سفينة، تمثل غالبية السفن في الأسطول. أشارت النتائج، في سطر مشابه لما ورد في الأدبيات، إلى أن إنتاج الديزل ونقله واستخدامه كانت النقاط الساخنة البيئية الرئيسية في فئات التأثير التقليدية. علاوة على ذلك، في هذه الحالة، كان إنتاج ونقل شباك الصيد مهمًا أيضًا. تشير التأثيرات المرتبطة بانبعاثات غازات الدفيئة إلى أن الانبعاثات كانت في النطاق العلوي لأنواع الصيد التي تم التقاطها بشباك الصيد وأن قيمة إمكانات الاحترار العالمي كانت 1.44 كجم من مكافئ ثاني أكسيد الكربون لكل وحدة وظيفية. ترجع تأثيرات السمية البيئية بشكل رئيسي إلى انبعاثات المواد المضادة للحشف إلى المحيط. فيما يتعلق بالفئات الخاصة بمصائد الأسماك، تم التخلص من العديد منها نظرًا لعدم وجود تقييمات تفصيلية للأرصدة لهذا النوع من مصائد الأسماك. وبالتالي، تم حساب فئة استخدام الموارد الحيوية فقط، مما يدل على أن جهود النظم الإيكولوجية للحفاظ على مصائد الأسماك منخفضة نسبيًا. سمح استخدام منهجية آخر سلف مشترك بتحديد النقاط الساخنة البيئية الرئيسية لأسطول الصيد بالشباك الجرافة التي تستهدف الأنشوجة الأوروبية في كانتابريا. تشير النتائج الفردية لكل ميناء أو لكل سفينة إلى وجود اختلافات كبيرة في انبعاثات غازات الدفيئة بين المجموعات. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، فإن استخدام الوقود مرتفع عند مقارنته بمصائد الأسماك المماثلة. لذلك، يجب إجراء بحث لتحديد سبب ارتفاع استخدام الوقود، خاصة إذا كان متعلقًا بالكتلة الحيوية وإدارة مصايد الأسماك أو إذا كانت قرارات الربان يمكن أن تلعب دورًا.

The energy-water nexus is a concept widely established but rarely applied to product and, in particular, to food and beverage products, which have a great influence on greenhouse gases emissions. The proposed method considers the main nexus aspects in addition to other relevant aspects such as climate change, which is deeply linked with energy and water systems, and assessing process as well as product. In this framework, this study develops an integrated index (IWECN) that combines life cycle assessment (LCA) and linear programming (LP) to assess energetic, water and climate systems, enabling the identification of those products with minors energetic and water intensity and climate change effects and helping to the decision-making process and to the development of eco-innovation measures. In this case, the product assessed was one bottle (70 cl) of gin and two main hotspots were identified: the production of the glass bottle and the energy requirements of the distillation stage. Based on that, several eco-innovation strategies were proposed: the use of photovoltaic solar energy as energy source and the substitution of the glass bottle by a plastic one and by a tetra brick. The nexus results indicated that the use of solar photovoltaic energy and plastic as bottle material was the best alternative decreasing 58% the IWECN value of the production of one bottle of gin. The sensitivity analysis presented a strong preference for photovoltaic solar energy in comparison with electric power and for the reduction of the glass bottle weight or its substitution by a plastic bottle. The use of the IWECN index is extendable to any product with the aim of facilitating the decision-making process in the development of more sustainable products to introduce them in new green markets.
