Abstract

The work aims to assess the environmental impact of the life cycle of style 0201 corrugated cases and compare the environmental loads from different disposal solutions. The life cycle assessment theory and SimaPro 8.5 software were used and the Eco-indicator99 ecological index analysis method was applied to evaluate the life cycle processes from raw materials acquisition, production, transportation, use to disposal process. The single environmental impact value per functional unit corrugated cases was 8.91 when the recycling rate reached 70%. The maximum environmental impact was generated during the production phase and was about 3.39, which was followed by that in the transportation phase (2.89) and the disposal phase (2.63). When the recycling rate was only 45%, the environmental impact per functional unit corrugated cases increased to 9.33, increasing by 4.71% compared to the case of 70% recycling rate. Improving the recycling rate can facilitate the decrease of the negative impact of corrugated cases in the life cycle process.
