Different hypothetical scenarios have been selected and
calculated in the LCA software to determine the potential diminution
of impacts that some aspects and material elimination
would cause. Since there is a large number of different aspects
that can be changed in the product life cycle due to its highcomplexity,
this task has permitted the identification of which
aspects, materials used and energy sources of the product life
cycle have a special bearing on the final impacts. Therefore, it
will be known during which phases, stages and aspects it will
be necessary to insist on for the subsequent identification of
improvement measures.
The analysed hypothetical scenarios were as follows: double
OPA instead of LDPE; elimination of HDPE, reduction of
sea transport, elimination of air and road transport for distribution,
elimination of rejects no water repacking, and in the process
of preservation, no consumption of natural gas and finally
no water or power consumption in the manufacturing phase.
