The cultivation of seaweed is a fast-growing practice that requires no arable land, freshwater, or fertilizers, perceiving it as an advantageous option for bioresource production. However, research on the environmental impacts of seaweed-based bioplastics is still limited, highlighting the need for a life cycle assessment (LCA) to evaluate their potential. In this article, a prospective LCA is conducted to assess the environmental impacts of brown seaweed-based bioplastic production, from pilot to industrial scale. Upscaling techniques are combined for each life-cycle stage, using interviews to upscale seaweed production and process simulation for the biorefinery and film fabrication steps, and the end-of-life scenario is modelled as composting. All the processes were upscaled to 4000 tonnes (t) per year in 2030 and 2 million tonnes (Mt) per year in 2035, including marginal suppliers of brown seaweed. The results show that the production of 1 kg of brown seaweed-based bioplastic resulted in approximately 1.37 kg CO<sub>2</sub>-eq. in the best-performing scenario, producing 2 Mt per year in 2035 accounting for the carbon uptake, which is lower than low-density polyethylene (LDPE) with an impact of 3.6 kg CO<sub>2</sub>-eq. The impact in marine eutrophication in the 2 Mt scenario is −0.009 kg N-eq., and −0.002 kg P-eq. in freshwater eutrophication. This study provides for the first time estimates of prospective industrial-scale impacts of the emerging seaweed-based bioplastic and shows how different upscaling techniques can be successfully combined, i.e., interviews and process simulation, to conduct a prospective LCA of seaweed-based bioplastics. The results demonstrate the potential of seaweed-based bioplastics as a sustainable alternative to conventional plastics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48619,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Production and Consumption","volume":"52 ","pages":"Pages 416-426"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142705089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, organic viticulture often results in lower yields. This study seeks to conduct a comparative life cycle assessment (LCA) of integrated and organic viticulture practices using data from a long-term experiment in Germany. By directly comparing management systems within the same vineyard, environmental variations attributed to geographic disparities are excluded from the analysis making this study unique in its use of consistent, long-term data. The LCA is conducted in alignment with the ISO standards 14040 and 14044 and applying the indicators and methods defined in the Product Environmental Footprint standard of the European Union using the software openLCA. To assess the environmental impacts relative to yield variations two functional units were chosen - “area” and “mass”. The results reveal that organic viticulture generally performs better on an area basis across most environmental categories, except for freshwater ecotoxicity, eutrophication, and mineral and metal resource use. However, lower yields in organic farming result in higher impacts per kilogram of grapes produced. The use of copper fungicides merges as a significant drawback due to its ecotoxicity, highlighting the need for strategies to reduce copper inputs and increase yields to improve the sustainability of organic viticulture. Additionally, the environmental impact of trellis production is identified as a critical hotspot for both production systems, suggesting that prolonging the lifespan of trellis materials or using less impactful alternatives could significantly reduce the overall environmental footprint. In conclusion, while organic viticulture offers certain environmental benefits, challenges related to yield and copper use must be addressed to enhance its sustainability. Future research should also consider integrating biodiversity and ecosystem services into LCA methodologies, as these factors could alter the comparative outcomes of organic and integrated management systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48619,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Production and Consumption","volume":"52 ","pages":"Pages 487-497"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142705090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study goes beyond traditional techno-economic evaluations by employing a Value-Sensitive Design (VSD) approach, which guides the selection of performance indicators and informs the design of technical scenarios for integrated seawater desalination and brine treatment systems. VSD ensures that the scenarios are socially relevant by directly incorporating stakeholder values into the design and assessment process. Four technical scenarios (Sc) were used to evaluate the VSD approach: Sc1) maximum water recovery, Sc2) and Sc3) integrated desalination with brine treatment for maximum resource recovery (using different configurations) and Sc4) electricity-based desalination for chemical recovery. Techno-economic models are implemented using Python to analyse the feasibility and performance of these scenarios. The modelling results indicate that all scenarios achieve zero brine production. However, the trade-offs between resource recovery and greenhouse gas emissions are evident. Increased salt recovery leads to higher CO<sub>2</sub> emissions (locally) due to electricity consumption. Scenario 1 minimized electrical energy consumption and emissions while maximizing water production. Scenarios 2 and 3 performed best in water and high-quality salt production. Despite its higher CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, Scenario 4 proved most profitable due to the production of chemicals. These findings highlight the importance of tailoring plant designs to regional needs.

Whereas these technologies and services are recognised as important enablers of sustainable development, their resource footprint and environmental impacts are often underestimated or overlooked. One of the key proposals expected to mitigate the negative consequences of DTs and digital services is the development circular economy (CE) strategies. In an attempt to synthesise these important concepts while contributing to environmental sustainability, this paper introduces the Circular strategy Assessment for Digital Services (CADiS) framework. Its main goal is to support a simultaneous holistic understanding of the environmental impacts of digital services and the role of CE strategies in ameliorating them. Its open structure and granularity in terms of system coverage (nano/micro, meso and macro levels) and flow analysis (materials, energy and the role of data management) allow pinpointing the most suited interventions for achieving greater circularity and environmental sustainability. For this, the CADiS framework considers circularity (C) indicators and life cycle impact assessment (LCIA), which could be considered independently or merged, to promptly evaluate many scenarios at once. To demonstrate its practical application, a case study of an eHealth service deployed in three distinct elderly living schemes is presented. The evaluated digital health and well-being service integrates six types of electronic devices for urgent notifications, audio, and video communication, and is interconnected using Power over Ethernet (PoE) infrastructure. The results identified the scenario that incorporates regenerative/cleaner energy sources and closing material loops as the best-performing one. Given the ever-expanding importance of digitalization in our society, the CADiS framework is timely to facilitate environmental assessment reporting and increase the circularity of digital services to achieve sustainable development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48619,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Production and Consumption","volume":"52 ","pages":"Pages 378-400"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142705088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims to investigate the policy's acceptability using the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) to quantify data from 1627 respondents and estimate and compare the willingness to pay (WTP) for a carbon tax among the Japanese population and Tokyo residents. Additionally, this study includes a supplementary analysis of the WTP distribution between Japan and Tokyo and examines the key factors contributing to the increase in the proportion of respondents at the maximum truncation point of the WTP amount in the WTP graph for the Japanese sample compared to the preceding monetary threshold. The results indicate that the allocation of carbon tax revenues as subsidies for clean energy technologies led to the highest median WTP in the Japanese sample, which was 4008 JPY ($29, 1 USD = 140.53 JPY, average for 2023). A Tobit regression model was used to track the factors influencing willingness to pay, revealing that gender, education, household income, and understanding of the carbon tax were highly correlated with overall willingness to pay. Among them, the highly educated Japanese population expressed greater concern about the transparency of the carbon tax procedures. High-income groups and corporate executives demonstrated a relatively higher willingness to pay when using carbon tax revenues to subsidize clean energy technologies. Tokyo's sample reveals a degree of regional heterogeneity in willingness to pay, indicating that Tokyo's experience with the carbon tax faces challenges in its promotion across Japan.

Fertilizer production/use and associated field-level emissions are the leading cause of environmental impacts in many life cycle impact categories, and energy and pesticide use also contribute significantly. For most environmental impact categories, the utilization of precision agriculture practices reduced these impacts as compared to conventional practices. Many precision agriculture technologies focus on nitrogen management, namely variable rate application of nutrients, but disproportionately in the context of high value crops. There is evidence that supports the notion that variable rate fertilization management leads to reduction in many but not necessarily all environmental impacts. Some studies reported no, or limited economic benefits associated with precision agriculture technologies, however overall results suggest that precision agriculture utilization delivers economic benefits either via cost savings, input savings, and/or increases to yield, margin, or profits.
