“…For climate change, the value of butter was above the values presented in another study conducted in Brazil, which ranged from 1.258 to 5.816 kgCO 2 eq [23], but close to the average presented in Ireland, with 9.680 kgCO 2 eq [37], and European and North American countries, which ranged from 8.080 to 16.930 kgCO 2 eq [39]. Considering papers using the CML impact assessment methodology, the values obtained for climate change and acidification potential were slightly above those presented for the UK, Germany, and France, ranging from 7200 to 9600 kgCO 2 eq and 0.050 to 0.090 kgSO 2 eq, respectively.…”

Life Cycle Assessment of Dairy Products: A Case Study of a Dairy Factory in Brazil

et al. 2022

The production of dairy products generates several environmental impacts, and life cycle assessment (LCA) is a useful methodology to quantify and understand those impacts. In Brazil, some traditional dairy products have not yet been evaluated using the LCA methodology. Based on this gap, we conducted a cradle-to-gate LCA of six dairy products from a plant in Minas Gerais, Brazil. We also performed two sensitivity analyses. The first analysis was on how the environmental profiles of the products changed depending on how the multifunctional processes were allocated. The second analysis evaluated how these changes in environmental profiles occurred depending on the way that the impacts were allocated to products and by-products (whey and buttermilk) produced within the dairy factory. Among the dairy products studied, the impacts of mozzarella cheese and butter substantially surpassed those of other products; cheese spread and dulce de leche had a similar impact; and yoghurt and milk had the lowest values for the impact categories that were assessed. The inclusion of by-products in the analysis proved to be an effective way to reduce the environmental impacts attributed to the dairy products, especially for cheese and cheese spread, the impact values of which decreased by 56% and 46%, respectively. Additionally, the use of different strategies to deal with the multifunctional processes significantly affected the impact results of the dairy products. The subdivision of processes combined with causal allocation was the best alternative as opposed to the allocation by milk solids. These results could offer a better understanding of the environmental profiles of dairy products from Brazil, especially the traditional products, such as dulce de leche and cheese spread. Other contributions of this study include the proposal of alternatives that could improve the environmental profiles of products (such as the processing of by-products and the questioning of the use of allocation according to milk solids, which have been commonly used in other life cycle assessment studies) and the proposal of a better method for assessing the environmental impacts of dairy products.

“…In Brazil, LCA studies have been conducted on the production processes of various dairy products, such as cheese and butter [12,23]. However, one area that has not yet been investigated is the characterization of the environmental profiles of traditional Brazilian products, such as dulce de leche and cheese spread.…”

A pegada ecológica vem sendo utilizada como uma ferramenta para medir a biocapacidade da terra em relação às demandas humanas. Destarte, neste trabalho estimou o nível de sustentabilidade dos discentes da Pós-Graduação em Desenvolvimento e Meio Ambiente da Universidade Federal do Ceará, através do Indicador Pegada Ecológica. Este indicador é utilizado para medir quantos hectares uma pessoa necessita para produzir o que consome por ano de maneira sustentável. A metodologia utilizada baseou-se na aplicação junto aos referidos alunos, no modelo de questionário do WWF. Os resultados sinalizam que, a maioria dos discentes deveriam reavaliar seus valores e alterar seu comportamento em relação ao padrão de consumo. Ainda, que sem a mudança de valores e posteriormente da postura da sociedade, não há como vivermos de acordo com a biocapacidade ecológica que o planeta pode suportar.
