LCA Concept
LCA is a tool to assess the potential environmental impacts of product systems orservices at all stages in their life cycle – from extraction of resources, through theproduction and using the product to reuse, recycling or final disposal.

Europe’s biggest PVC producer Solvay, who runs a PVC recycling plant in the ItalianCity of Ferrara, conducted a detailed life cycle assessment (LCA). In a recyclingprocess they call VinyLoop, two materials are reclaimed: PVC grains, mainly fromcable waste, and Tarpaulin waste, a PET textile coated with PVC. The PVC recoveredduring the process is a secondary compound comparable in a quality to primary(virgin) PVC compound. Material-wise, the plant is pretty efficient: out of 1.15 kg cablewaste, 0.9 kg PVC compound is recovered, and for each 0.29 kg tarpaulin waste, 0.1kgnew raw fibers are captured. But what about the overall environmental performance?
