Abstract

Life cycle assessment, also referred to as life cycle analysis, eco-balance, and cradle-to-grave analysis, is a means of assessing the effect of cradle-to-grave on the environment of all life stages. In recent years, the pressures on minimizing environmental impact to improve the environmental performance increase dramatically. The main objective is to evaluate the latest spin grind dryer configuration's environmental potential using the Life Cycle Assessment approach. Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) were implemented to decide the best design concept during the selection process at the conceptual design stage. The selected sustainable tools used are eco-design web, eco-indicator and SimaPro software in conducting the sustainable environmental evaluation using the best design concept selected. The data are tabulated using the eco-indicator method and the product indication's revised total is 134173.05, which is less than before the 190912.85 modification. When the numbers before and after the adjustments are compared, the Eco indicator value is lowered to 56739.8. The sustainable environmental evaluation of the conceptual spin grind dryer is also used using SimaPro software and the data is categorized into three types of damage which is human heath, ecosystem, and resource. A comparison is done for the conceptual spin grind dryer for before and after sustainable environmental improvement to the conceptual spin grind dryer and the overall result indicate that before improvement total damage assessment is 5.5 percent lower than the after improvement of the conceptual spin grind dryer. In summary, the conceptual spin grind dryer after improvement to its sustainable environmental aspect (materials and process) is better than the previous conceptual spin grind dryer before improvement.
