Identifying strategies to maximize benefit of fiber recovery through systems quantification
This project will analyze the system‐wide economic and environmental implications of changes in the recovery of fibers. The project will use a dynamic modeling framework that integrates material flow analysis, life cycle inventories, and technical cost modeling to inform potential ideas for cost‐effective fiber recovery approaches.
A goal of this project is for REMADE members to more accurately determine the energy and emissions benefits associated with paper and paperboard recovery.
