Methodology for Trace and Quantify Recycled Plastics in Automotive ELVs (End-of-Life Vehicles)

Chaehwan Hong, Emanuel Ionescu

Korean J Life Cycle Assess 2026;27(1):1-10.
https://doi.org/10.62765/kjlca.2026.27.1.1

Globally, 489 million tonnes of plastic are produced in 2023 and only 8.17% are recycled. This study navigates the landscape of recycling practices, highlighting the imperative to reevaluate and upgrade industry-standard protocols. The central focus of this study is on finding more robust traceability criteria and advanced quality testing methodologies to improve recycled plastics with intrinsic value, particularly in anticipation of future market applications. The investigation examines the AIE(Aggregation-Induced Emission) based standard trac...

Korean Textile Collection Rate Targets and EPR Policy Design: Lessons from France's Collection Rate Framework

Bongkyun Ko, Youkyum Kim

Korean J Life Cycle Assess 2026;27(1):11-20.
https://doi.org/10.62765/kjlca.2026.27.1.11

As the expansion of fast fashion and the shortening lifecycle of apparel products intensify the environmental burden of the textile and clothing industry, the European Union (EU) has introduced stringent regulatory measures, including the EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles and the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). These policies promote the introduction of the Digital Product Passport (DPP), prohibit the destruction of unsold goods, and encourage the implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) sch...

https://doi.org/10.62765/kjlca.2026.27.1.21

This study evaluates the environmental and economic performance of a wastewater reuse system (MBR + UF/RO) in Jeju under varying levels of variable renewable energy (VRE) utilization. Hourly-resolution data (8,760 hours) on electricity generation mix and wastewater treatment operation were used to conduct dynamic life cycle assessment (dLCA) and techno-economic assessment (TEA). Under a PPA-based electricity procurement framework, nine scenarios were analyzed by combining renewable energy penetration levels (0-80%) with two operational strategi...

https://doi.org/10.62765/kjlca.2026.27.1.31

The increasing demand for packaging driven by e-commerce and fresh food distribution has intensified environmental concerns associated with single-use packaging systems. Reusable packaging has emerged as a promising alternative; however, its environmental performance depends strongly on operational conditions, particularly reuse frequency. This study conducted a cradle-to-grave life cycle assessment (LCA) focusing on a reusable plastic container (RPC) incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) material, with comparison to a single-use corrugate...

https://doi.org/10.62765/kjlca.2026.27.1.41

As global temperature rise exceeds 1.5°C and climate change intensifies, achieving carbon neutrality has emerged as an urgent challenge, and carbon capture and utilization (CCU) has attracted increasing attention as a key strategy for the transition toward net-zero emissions. This study quantitatively compares greenhouse gas (GHG) emission characteristics of Fischer–Tropsch (FT)-based diesel production processes under feedstock substitution, using natural gas and CCU-derived captured CO2 as alternative inputs, within a gate-to-gate system ...
