LCA models are created using the GaBi 5 Software for life cycle engineering, developed by PE International AG. GaBi database provides the life cycle inventory data for several of the raw and process materials obtained from the upstream and downstream system.

15.05.2012 16 Life Cycle Assessment of Glass Packaging Sensitivity Analysis

For 180 ml packaging size of all packaging systems, various sensitivity analyses have been performed in order to assess the influence of different parameters.

• Weight of the packaging medium A sensitivity analysis is conducted for a variation in weight of the primary packaging ranging from -20%, -10%, +10% and +20%.

• EoL share of recycling A sensitivity analysis is conducted for variation in the recycling rates of the primary packaging for 50% and 75%. The materials, which are not recycled, are considered to be land filled.

• Transport distances A sensitivity analysis is conducted for the transportation of primary packaging to the filling station for distances of 500 km and 700 km.

• Batch materials, energy consumption, electricity consumption

15.05.2012 17 Life Cycle Assessment of Glass Packaging EoL scenario and Closed loop recycling

End-of-life management scenarios: (1) Closed-loop of glass packaging back to new packaging (2) Recycling of glass packaging into non-packaging products or fiberglass (3) Losses via aggressive landfill cover, incineration

Benefits of closed-loop recycling: a) Substitution of primary batch materials by post-consumer cullet b) Reduction of energy consumption in melting process due to cullet replacing raw materials c) Reduction of emissions in melting process:

i. Reduction of CO2 emissions in relation to the (reduced) consumption of raw materials and energy (calculated via standard emission factors)

ii. Reduction of NOx, Dust and SOx emissions in proportional relation to the (reduced) energy input

Life Cycle Assessment of Glass Packaging Achievements

Tremendous achievement to set up the AIGMF inventory for container glass – representing 72% of the Indian production First comprehensive inventory for a material in India Eight scenario calculations to identify sensitivity, hot spots and the potential for improvement Transparency and increased awareness as first step towards sustainable products Quantified environmental impact assessment result using worldwide accepted LCA methodology First study in India being reviewed by an international and independent review panel according to ISO 14040/14044 Reliable and transparent environmental profile for glass are now available for stakeholder dialogue

25 Life Cycle Assessment of Glass Packaging Conclusion

Glass weight reduction results in substantial improvement in environmental performance

Cullet recycling saves batch materials and energy consumption compared to primary

Recycling of all the packaging materials need to be enhanced

Transportation impact is only 5-6% of the total life cycle of glass

Glass considered as Inert waste - no major impact on open landfill, however improvement in recycling to be promoted

Scenarios show a huge improvement potential for glass

Life Cycle Assessment of Glass Packaging Situation in Europe

In Europe, bottles are getting lighter and lighter for high material efficiency and lower transport impact too In Germany high recycling rates are typically achieved via deposit systems Consumer pays a deposit per bottle/can and gets this refunded when bringing back Another option to increase recycling rates are collection systems Communities in Germany offer collection systems where the consumer brings one-way glass bottles/ to, often combined with /carton collection system Green dot system in Germany collects and separates one-way containers such as PET bottles or metal cans. Households use a specific or trash can for this On average, the EU27 members reach 68% of recycling rate for glass saving 12 Million tons of raw materials. Belgium proves that recycling rates might be close to 100% (95%).
