Environmental Load Evaluation of Industrial Products in Manufacturing Stage : Inventory Analysis of Painting-coating and Plastic-injection molding processes

Abstract

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has been greatly paid attention to its effectiveness in evaluating environmental impacts through the lifecycle of any industrial products. In this paper we are focusing the LCA environmental-load evaluation of the manufacturing phase in industries, especially painting-coating and plastic-injection molding processes. The LCA-NETS method is have used to analyze the environmental load of the processes. The various kind of inventory data base the processes has collected by measuring respective parameters. Based on the data analysis, a structure is developed to evaluate the LCA Eco-load in these tow manufacturing processes. And, a list of estimations using NETS values as points of reference for further development and refinement to much more environmental friendly manufacturing.
