Abstract
The plastic pallet is a resource-circulating product that minimizes the production of new products through a closed-loop circulation system as a returnable logistics transport tool that recovers plastic pallets that have been used once in the logistics industry and uses them repeatedly through a pooling system. In this study, the environmental impacts of repetition and reuse of plastic pallet evaluated using LCA. And the results were used to compare with single used plastic pallet. The system boundary was set to raw material extraction stage, product manufacturing stage, use(distribution) stage, cleaning stage, and disposal and recycling stage. And use(distribution) stage was analyzed by subdividing into production plants, users, destinations, collection centers, and washing centers. As a result of the analysis of environmental improvement effects, the plastic pallet pooling system showed an average decrease of 73.3% based on the six impact categories compared to single use, and the impact category of resource depletion among the impact categories decreased by 91.5%, showing the greatest effect, and 72.8% environmental improvement effect on global warming.
