Due to the ozone-depleting and greenhouse gas effects of the chlorofluorocarbons and hydrochlorofluorocarbons, their production and use have been restricted, but there is a large stockpile still in existence. The third and fourth generation fluorinated refrigerants hydrofluorocarbons and hydrofluorolefin have moved towards full fluorination, which increases their stability but also makes disposal more difficult. It is urgent to develop disposal methods with mild reaction conditions and high energy efficiency, and to seek processes for resourceful conversion of waste refrigerants. This review article compiles research on the degradation and resourceful utilization methods of fluorinated refrigerants. The current research ideas can be divided into: 1 Providing the energy required for breaking chemical bonds through heat energy. 2 Directly or indirectly reducing fluorinated refrigerants through electric fields. 3 Using catalytic methods to reduce reaction activation energy and guide the reaction to proceed through different mechanisms. Building upon previous research, this paper outlines the current challenges and future development directions for each disposal method. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.

TI - Technical and environmental assessment of end-of-life scenarios for plastic packaging with electronic tags JF - RESOURCES CONSERVATION AND RECYCLING J2 - RESOUR CONSERV RECY VL - 201 PY - 2024 PG - 13 SN - 0921-3449 DO - 10.1016/j.resconrec.2023.107341 UR - https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34615527 ID - 34615527 AB - The end-of-life management of plastics is challenging, especially when inefficient sorting can limit the quality of recycling streams. Radio frequency identification device (RFID) tags can add value to packaging by assisting with post-collection sorting and end-of-life management. We conducted, for the first time, a technical and environ -mental (LCA) evaluation of plastic packaging with RFID for different end-of-life scenarios, including mechanical recycling (extrusion), chemical recycling (depolymerisation), and energy-from-waste. The recycling process and plastic quality were unaffected by the RFID, although tag particulates can be transferred to the recyclate. LCA results indicated that mechanical recycling of the plastic with either energy-from-waste treatment (Scenario 1) or chemical recycling (Scenario 3) of the RFID is superior to chemical recycling of the plastic and RFID (Scenario 2) among all the impact categories except stratospheric ozone depletion potential. For example, the global warming potential of Scenario 2 (223.63 gCO2e) was determined to be more than twice than that of the Scenarios 1 and 3 (111.04 and 111.78 gCO2e, respectively). However, as per sensitivity analysis, with further advancements particularly in catalyst development and energy mix, chemical recycling can be a potential solution as it ensures the highest recyclate quality and facilitates the longest retention of the material value. The growing application of RFID tags in consumer goods makes the technical and environmental investigation of its effects on the end-of-life management paramount.

In order to avoid simply creating more issues in the process of solving an outstanding problem, the implementation of proposed alternatives has to be studied methodically and holistically from a cradle-to-grave perspective. Currently, the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals provide guidelines for country-level analysis but many of the indicators may not be applicable for technology-, products-, services- and system-level evaluation. Additionally, there is a lack of comprehensive and easily comparable sustainability assessments that can be applied across the different Sustainable Development Goals as well as a paucity of relevant targets for renewable energy technologies. Life cycle sustainability assessment, an extension to the widely applied life cycle assessment, is presented herein as the frame of reference to objectively provide insight into the potential impacts of prospective production systems, such that the Sustainable Development Goals can be met in a truly sustainable manner. An overview of current literature (>80 studies) on research into renewable energy production technologies in the areas of wind, solar and biomass is provided, with possible areas of life cycle sustainability assessment utilization highlighted and applied comprehensively in relation to the relevant Sustainable Development Goals. It is thus demonstrated that a Life Cycle Perspective in the form of Life Cycle Sustainability Assessments can be utilized to evaluate renewable energy technologies in a manner that truly meets the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, and the relevant methodology applied to products and services as well.
