Abstract

In this short communication we propose a screening approach for assessing the sustainability of new recycling options. Before performing a full comparative LCA it is useful to perform a simplified LCA because of the lower data intensity. The impact categories are limited to greenhouse gas emissions and land use. As an example car tire recycling is shown. This screening approach is already useful for decision makers and can be used by stakeholders to compare innovative with the baseline technology.
