ABSTRACT
Studying the life cycle of 7up bottle is of great importance not only to the producers but to the users and the entire environment.The work broadly covers the entire life of the bottle from raw materials, production phase to the end of its life. The environmental impacts include those from emissions into the environment and through the consumption of resources, as well as associated with producing the bottle that occur when extracting resources, producing materials, manufacturing the products, during consumption/use, and at the products' end-of-life (collection/sorting, reuse, recycling, waste disposal). These emissions and consumptions contribute to a wide range of impacts, the depletion of resources, water use, land use, and noise—among others. A clear need, therefore, exists to provide complimentary insights, to help reduce such impacts. The raw materials are readily available except for soda ash sodium sulphate and iron chromate which are supplied from outside the Country and are very expensive. Energy is most utilized at the melting stage, the furnace alone accounts for 70% of the total plant demand, while the batch stage and transportation has the least of energy consumption. A few of the total bottle produced for the batch under review were unrecovered from the consumers and most of the recovered bottles after being reused two times for the period of two and half years ,were crushed and used for recycle for further production. The greenhouse gases were emitted greatly at melting stage due to the fuel type LPFO (low pour flow oil) used in running the furnace .It is a by-product of crude oil which burn slowly. Dust particulates were also observed at the point of unloading of the raw materials and batch house.
