Abstract
Life cycle inventories on packagings of detergent for kitchen use were developed to investigate the total energy consumption and atomospheric emissions during the limited life cycle. Additionally the survey was conducted to evaluate consumer's consciousness and activities on refill. It was concluded that the refill of compact type detergent in larger volume can reduce the most environmental load. Most of consumers recognize that the refill is usuful to reduce the environmental load. But there is no existing refill to be satisfied fully by the consumer.
