Eco-efficiency is a new concept of environmental analysis seeking to improve products, processes and manufacturing materials. The eco-efficiency analysis gives the opportunity to find the most effective solution with the lowest environmental burden in the bottle forming process. For this purpose, the LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) technique of environmental management was used to evaluate selected stages of the bottle forming process. The analysis was carried out using the Eco Indicator 99 method using the SimaPro software.

In recent years, there has been an increase in the consumption of disposable packaging, which has led to overloading landfills. These problems have become widely noticeable and dominant in a wide range of packaging issues in terms of environmental protection. The development of knowledge in the field of environmental protection, which has taken place in recent years, has shown that the impact of packaging should be considered throughout its life cycle, taking into account many factors that constitute environmental burdens and threats. Many companies operating in the world markets, using the standardized Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method, conduct tests in terms of technical and material solutions with the lowest environmental impact. Therefore, this publication was to conduct environmental analysis of the life cycle of disposable food packaging based on the method of LCA. The subject of the research were bottles, caps and labels made mainly of polymeric materials: polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene and LDPE. Eco-indicator 99 was used as the calculation procedure. The impact of the analysis objects on human health, ecosystem quality and resources was assessed. Among the examined objects, the highest level of negative influence on the environment was characteristic for the life cycle of a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle. The use of recycling processes reduce the environmental impact by about 25%.

The study resulted in testing and assessment procedure for destructiveness of Gamesa G90 wind power rotor plastics blades of their life cycle. The achieved goal embraced ergonomic, functional, ecological and technological destructiveness. The life cycle comprises stages from design to disposal. The best results connected with ergonomic, functional, ecological and technological destructiveness of the disposal model in the form of recycling were obtained for the life processes of plastics related to fossil fuel extraction (-2.56 • 105 MJ).

Zaproponowano procedurę badań i oceny destrukcyjności łopat wirnika elektrowni wiatrowej Gamesa G90. Przyjęto cztery przestrzenie destrukcyjnego oddziaływania: stanowisko pracy operatorów – destrukcyjność ergonomiczna, dokładność realizacji funkcji siłowni – funkcjonalna, środowisko organizmów żywych – ekologiczna, urządzenia, maszyny, instalacje – technologiczna. Analizowany cykl życia obejmował etapy od wykonania projektu do zagospodarowania poużytkowego łopat wykonanych z tworzyw polimerowych. Najwyraźniejsze zmniejszenie poziomu destrukcyjnego oddziaływania podczas wytwarzania, eksploatacji i recyklingu łopat wirnika elektrowni wiatrowej stwierdzono w odniesieniu do procesów związanych z wydobyciem paliw kopalnych (-2,56 • 105 MJ).
