Abstract
This study was quantified using LCA about EPS limited system boundary from raw material extraction until it leaves the factory and assessed six environmental impact categories; Abiotic depletion; Acidification; Eutrophication; Global warming; Ozone layer depletion; and Photochemical oxidants creation. The contributions of raw material extraction to the six environmental impact categories were determined to be as follows:Abiotic depletion 85.2%, Acidification 93.8%, Eutrophication 89.7%, Global warming 86.3%, Ozone layer depletion 99.5%, and Photochemical oxidants creation 93.1%. Sensitivity analysis was performed for data and assumptions to confirm the results reliability of this study. The results of this study confirmed that raw material extraction stage and aluminum material part is the most important environmental impact factors in EPS.
