5. What Needs To Be Done To Perform A Life Cycle Assessment According To Iso 14040?
Life cycle assessment (LCA) addresses the environmental aspects and potential environmental impacts
`from raw material acquisition through production, use, end-of-life treatment, recycling and final
disposal (i.e. cradle-to-grave).
There are four phases in a Life cycle Study:
a)The goal and scope
definition phase
b)The inventory
analysis phase
c)The impact
assessment phase
d)The interpretation
phase
The scope, including the system
boundary and level of detail.
It is an inventory of input/output
data regarding the system being
studied. It involves collection of
the data necessary to meet the
goals of the defined study
The purpose is to provide
additional information to help
assess a product system’s life
cycle inventory analysis phase
results so as to better understand
their environmental significance.
the results of a life cycle inventory
analysis or a life cycle impact
assessment, or both, are
summarized and discussed as a
basis for conclusions,
recommendations and decision-
making in accordance with the
goal and scope definition.
6. Business Case :
1. Agricultural production, which is basically composed of land leveling and preparation for cultivation.
2. Repair services workshop, we have an inventory of 1117 motor equipment which consume fuel and oil mainly Diesel fuel, and have a
preventive and corrective maintenance plan.
3.Industrial Process, this is where we process sugar cane into refined sugar, in this process we use steam boilers and self-produce electric
energy for our operations.
The work environment where I work is in an agricultural production company whose main product is sugar from sugar cane.
We are a company formed by 3200 employees where our processes are divided into 3 main work sections.
7. Scope :
The scope of this environmental management system includes the commitment of the sugar production company to minimize or eradicate
any environmental impact and includes compilation and evaluation of the inputs, outputs and the potential environmental impacts of a
product system throughout its life cycle.
The presentation of environmental impacts focuses on high-level information to keep the presentation of this paper brief.
The elements of analysis begin with the evaluation of the suppliers of expendable materials and services, and end with the disposal of the
waste produced by the operational activities.
Context of organization
The operations described take place in the Dominican Republic in the southern part of the country, an unpopulated and rural part where
the soils are saline.
The laws of the country require an environmental permit that must comply with the elements of Law 64-00 that establishes as a
prerequisite for the start of operations:
1. Environmental impact study: the company's activities and their possible impacts on air, water, social impact, fauna and land are
described.
2. Environmental impact remediation plan establishes how environmental impact factors will be controlled.
3. Environmental compliance report: A report with the measurements of environmental impacts is sent to the Ministry of the
Environment on a monthly basis to demonstrate compliance or action plans to correct any emission that is above what is established by
the country's law.
8. Leadership:
• We are a green company, we are committed to the
preservation of natural resources, our values go hand in hand
with sustainability, we have goals to reduce the use of water,
minimize carbon monoxide, Co2 and particulate emissions from
our industrial processes, recovery of arid land, non-use of
agrochemicals prohibited by the EPA and the reduction of fossil
fuel consumption (we produce our own electrical energy from a
steam turbine, the steam is generated with bagasse of
sugarcane).
