Environmental Life Cycle Assessment of Healthcare Waste Valorisation Alternatives

Environmental and Climate Technologies, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 29(1), С. 51 - 67

Abstract Infectious healthcare waste (iHCW), after microbial inactivation treatment, primarily ends up in landfills. Although the morphological composition of iHCW depends on type health facility, predominantly HCW consists plastic and textile waste. Furthermore, treatment is cleaner from a microbiological contamination perspective than household waste, making it highly valuable resource. Recycling has environmental economic benefits by valorising iHCW, would be possible to reduce amount landfilled use as The aim research understand consequences potential treated valorisation scenarios through ‘gate-to-gate’ (from generation at medical facilities end-of-life or recovery) life cycle assessment framework compare with existing practice – landfilling functional unit 1 ton using ReCiPe 2016 (Midpoint, Hierarchist perspective) method.

Comparison of Thermochemical Conversion Processes for Antibiotic Residues: Insights from Life Cycle Assessment

Processes, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 13(4), С. 1139 - 1139

Опубликована: Апрель 10, 2025

Life cycle assessment (LCA) was conducted to evaluate the environmental impacts and health risks associated with four thermochemical conversion technologies: incineration, gasification, pyrolytic liquefaction, hydrothermal liquefaction. Results revealed that all processes yielded positive net benefits (3.8–8.2 kg CO2-eq/kg AR reduction), liquefaction exhibiting lowest emissions (GWP-5.71 CO2-eq/kg). However, its widespread application has been hindered by process limitations, enhancing catalytic efficiency identified as a critical area for future research. Incineration ranked second in terms of remains most favorable method according existing studies. In contrast, gasification did not demonstrate significant advantages, primarily due high energy consumption required drying. Consequently, optimizing drying highlighted key focus research efforts. This study provided valuable insights safe disposal resource recovery antibiotic residue.
