摘要: This research article discusses the modelling and simulation results of carbon eco-footprints adult incontinence products. Four types products are considered in this study: two diapers-commercial new diapers pants-commercial type pants. New pants were developed by our team Institute Textiles & Clothing The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Carbon modeled using IPCC 2001 method (100 Years) ecological footprint (taken from Ecoinvent 2.0) SIMAPRO 7.3.2 version LCA software. Datasets database inbuilt with software used to build life cycle scenarios. Life scenarios four built for entire cradle grave stages. In study, contribution analysis (hot-spots stages) each product under consideration highlighted. From modeling results, it was noticed that reusable created lowest compared its counterparts. diaper slightly higher commercial type. process analysis, found production disposal SAP, generation electricity polypropylene, processes cotton contributors major impacts order hierarchy. detailed understood if will be without disposable inserts, can bring significantly down.
