Prepare a Life Cycle Assessment of returnable and non-returnable glass bottles used for the production of soda. The bottles have a capacity of 300 mL.

A returnable bottle has a mass of 250 g and needs approximately 340 J to be produced. A non-returnable bottle is 150 g and needs approximately 210 g to be produced.

Consider a distance of 150 km from the factory to the distribution center. The transport is done by trucks of 30 tons with a load capacity of 6 tons and average consumption of 0.40 MJ/km.ton.

*Use the functional unit of your choice and make the considerations and hypotheses you think necessary.

Elaborates the Life Cycle Assessment, in a simple way and with the four phases (Definition of Goal and Scope, Inventory Analysis, Impact Assessment and Interpretation), for this process, determining when the use of returnable bottles will be more viable.
