Title:Ocenitev življenjskega cikla različnih vrst nagrobnih sveč
Abstract:This work aims at examining from a environmental point of view the life cycle of different types of graveyard candles, traditional and electronic. The different candles are compared in the context of life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology through a specialized software. Each candle life cycle is first analyzed to evaluate and assess its resources and materials needs and its associated environmental impact. As a second step the results of emissions and environmental burdens: depletion of abiotic resources (ADP), acidification potential (AP), eutrophication potential (EP), global warming potential (GWP 100 years), depletion to ozone layer (ODP) and photochemical ozone creation potential (POCP) are analyzed to the purpose of determining the category of graveyard candles that represents the best eco-friendly option. This study demonstrates that electronic candles are the best option with lower environmental impact whereas PVC body traditional candles are the most damageable for the environment.
