Life cycle assessment of repurposed waste electric and electronic equipment in comparison with original equipment

M. M. Perez-Martinez et al.

Summary: The study utilizes life cycle assessment to evaluate the environmental impacts of two preparing for reuse processes of desktop computers as Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The results show a mixed picture, with repurposed PLC having a worse environmental performance compared to the original due to factors like distribution and use stages, while repurposed PSA has a lower negative impact across all environmental categories analyzed. The research emphasizes the importance of considering factors such as power consumption and lifespan in determining the environmental viability of WEEE reuse.

Life Cycle Assessment of various biorefinery approaches for the valorisation of almond shells

Leyre Sillero et al.

Summary: This study assessed the environmental impacts of converting almond shells into high added-value products through Life Cycle Assessment methodology, concluding that enzymatic hydrolysis had the highest environmental impacts. It was also found that the organosolv delignification process had a more negative overall impact. The best route for valorizing almond shells in a biorefinery facility should include autohydrolysis, alkaline delignification, bleaching, and acid hydrolysis steps.

Circular business models of washing machines in the Netherlands: Material and climate change implications toward 2050

Carlos Pablo Siguenza et al.

Summary: The Netherlands is leading the way in promoting and utilizing circular business models, particularly product leasing and pay-per-use models in the home appliances sector. Research has shown that product leasing could bring the greatest material use benefits, while the climate change impact mitigation from circular business models needs to be compared with the benefits of decarbonized electricity. Successful energy transition could shift the focus towards the production phase of energy-intensive appliances regarding climate change impacts.
