报废轮胎管理由于所涉及的过程而产生二氧化碳当量排放。因此。本研究的目的是量化ELT管理系统的环境绩效，即CO2当量排放量，其中包括通过ELT处理厂、运输系统和来自ELT处理的二次原材料的回收操作;除了其他不同的ELT回收方法。为此，开发了基于生命周期评估的环境绩效方法，并辅以Clarke和Wright的节约算法，以评估和优化ELT处理厂的位置。为了验证所提出的方法，自治区的阿拉贡在西班牙作为一个案例研究。针对阿拉贡的ELT处理厂分析了不同的ELT管理方案，并通过Clarke和Wright算法对基线方案的运输进行了优化。通过应用拟议的方法，已经确定，阿拉贡处理厂目前的位置有好处的净CO2当量排放量的不同半径的研究，最大为200公里。另一方面，Clarke和Wright方法已被应用，以获得从42个收集/分拣中心到处理厂的总行程的运输优化。因此，行驶距离可减少约15%。
The end of life tyres (ELT) management generates CO2-eq emissions due to the involved processes. Therefore. this research has been conducted with the aim of quantifying the environmental performance of an ELT management system, in terms of CO2-eq emissions, which includes the recycling operation through the ELT treatment plant, the transport system and the secondary raw material derived from ELT processing; apart from other different ELT recovery methods. To this end, the environmental performance method based on life cycle assessment and complemented with the Clarke and Wright's saving algorithm has been developed in order to evaluate and optimise the location of the ELT treatment plants. To validate the proposed method, the Autonomous Community of Aragon in Spain is shown as a case study. Different ELT management scenarios have been analysed for the Aragon's ELT treatment plant and the optimisation of transportation of the baseline scenario is carried out by means of the Clarke and Wright algorithm. By applying the proposed methodology it has been identified that the current location of the Aragonese treatment plant has benefits in net CO2-eq emissions for the different radii studied with a maximum of 200 km. On the other hand, The Clarke and Wright method has been applied in order to obtain the transportation optimisation of the total travelled distance from the 42 collection/sorting centres to the treatment plant. As a result, the travelled distance can be reduced about 15%.
