Life cycle assessment of a food waste composting system: environmental impact hotspots
چکیده انگلیسی
For all scenarios, compost processing was the stage with the largest environmental impact, with decomposition emissions contributing the most to global warming potential, acidification and eutrophication impact categories under the average and maximum emissions scenarios. To account for the avoided environmental impacts of peat mining and transport, these values were subtracted from the composting life cycle. The avoided impacts from peat replacement were higher than the impacts from composting for all categories, illustrating that using compost instead of peat results in net environmental gains. This study highlights the importance of minimizing life cycle impacts associated with CH4, N2O and NH3 emissions during the decomposition process and the need for more consensus in the literature on emission values from composting processing.
