Life cycle assessment of the functional nutrition in the context of the circular economy

In accordance with the principles of sustainable development, all production wastes should be considered as sources of raw materials for other production.

Description
Summary:In accordance with the principles of sustainable development, all production wastes should be considered as sources of raw materials for other production. Whey in Russia was previously discarded with wastewater, but after studying its properties, it turned out that it has great potential for the production of protein-enriched products. And in order to further reduce the environmental impact, a milk protein life cycle assessment has been carried out. The article presents the results of the study of this assessment. The analysis was carried out for such indicators of the category as global warming potential, total emissions of substances that contribute to ozone formation, total emissions of acidifying compounds, potential for eutrophication, consumption of abiotic resources, consumption of biotic resources, water consumption, air consumption. The categories of impacts that make the greatest contribution to environmental pollution and resource consumption are identified, namely, total emissions of substances that contribute to ozone formation by categories of output flows and water consumption by categories of input flows. Recommendations was given to reduce the impact.
