Environment Life cycle assessment
Many current food systems are unsustainable because they cause significant resource depletion and unacceptable environmental impacts. This problem is so severe, it can...
To achieve more sustainable production and consumption patterns, we must consider the environmental implications of the whole supply-chain of products, both goods and services, their use, and waste...
Future scenarios for climate mitigation of new construction in Sweden: Effects of different technological pathways
A variety of climate mitigation strategies is available to mitigate climate impacts of buildings. Several studies evaluating the effectiveness of these strategies have been performed at the building stock...
Coproducts performances in biorefineries: Development of Claiming-Based Allocation models for Environmental policy
This study revisited the fundamentals of allocation to joint products and proposed new models for allocating common greenhouse gases emissions among coproducts of biorefineries. These emissions may...
Life cycle assessment of wood-plastic composites: Analysing alternative materials and identifying an environmental sound end-of-life option
In the drive towards a sustainable Bioeconomy, a growing interest in the development of composite materials made of plastics compounded with wood particles, known as wood-plastic composites (WPC), can be...
The present document compiles the main outputs of the environmental sustainability assessment in the framework of the Bioeconomy Observatory as at the end of 2014. The selection includes fourteen environmental sustainability factsheets and a brief...
