欧盟关于洗衣粉和工业及公共机构洗衣粉的生态标签标准正在修订中。这一修订过程将考虑到当前的市场条件,欧盟生态标签标准将着眼于从生命周期的角度解决洗衣洗涤剂(消费者和工业及机构洗涤剂)对环境的最重要影响。在这项研究中进行的主要热点的识别,通过最初的广泛的文献综述和随后的LCA研究。生命周期评估研究表明,在使用阶段用于加热洗涤水的能源对所研究的所有环境类别都有影响,特别是对化石燃料消耗和全球变暖潜力的影响。对矿物消耗、土地使用和能源使用等类别造成影响的原材料的开采和加工以及对环境的排放(废水排放)也具有重要影响,这取决于所考虑的情景。该研究表明,有几个改进的机会,如洗涤剂压实,这可以节省资源或降低洗涤温度。洗涤剂配方的变化也可以减少不同类别的影响。
The EU Ecolabel criteria for laundry detergents and industrial and institutional laundry detergents are under revision. This revision process will take into account the current market conditions and the EU Ecolabel criteria will aim at addressing the most important environmental impacts of the laundry detergents (consumer and industrial and institutional detergents) in a life cycle perspective. The identification of the main hotspots is carried out in this study by means of an initial extensive literature review and subsequent LCA studies. LCA studies shown that the energy used for heating the washing water during the use stage, has an impact in all the environmental categories under study but especially on fossil fuel depletion and global warming potential. The extraction and processing of raw materials that cause impacts on the categories such as mineral depletion, land use and energy use as well as the emissions to the environment (discharge of wastewater) has also impacts of importance depending on the scenario under consideration. The study reveals that there are several improvement opportunities such as detergent compaction which can bring savings in resources or reduction in the wash temperature. Changes in the detergent formulation can also reduce the impacts in different categories.
