Comparison of Energy Consumption under LCA method for processing 1kg


Disposal Method of PET Bottles Used Energy
(kcal)
CO2 Emission
(g)
Remaining Volume
(cm3)
Burning 27,846 4,705 0
Thermal Recycling 27,021 4,705 0
Dumping 27,846 2,405 23,810
Resin Stone EFM 8,392 742 0

* Methane gas emission is observed from the dumping site



For annual processing of 12,000 tons of PET bottles,burning and thermal recycling methods emit 56,460 tons of CO2 while Resin Stone EFM emits 8,904 tons.
EFM method is clearly superior to other methods.
