Abstract
The products lifecycle is extended to ensure a new use. In the present report the LCA approach was developed according to the specifc International Standards 14040-44: 2018, to highlight environmental hotspots of sewage produced by the livestock company Azienda Agricola Mulinello ltd, located in the Sicilian hinterland. The company owns a close-loop pig farm of 5,000 livestock units (ranging from 110 to 120 kilograms), its own slaughterhouse, a meat processing laboratory, a production plant for cured meat, a feeding system, a wastewater treatment plant and a composting plant. The entire establishment has got a circular economic system. In this contest an additional anaerobic digestion system could bring further benefits in the circular view, as it allows the transformation of processed effluents and organic waste into biogas and bio-fertilizers. Currently, the company confers processed effluents and organic waste to the pilot plant built at the Assoro biomethane company located in the province of Enna, which is one of the main plant sites in Italy © 2021, Procedia Environmental Science, Engineering and Management.All Rights Reserved.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
