TY - CHAP A1 - Wongdeethai, Angkarn A1 - Ertel, Jürgen T1 - Life Cycle Assessment of D-Lamp (XENARC) N2 - D-Lamps are high intensity discharge lamps for car headlights, which are the new generation of automotive lighting for tomorrow, but available now. Because of their importance with respect to the materials used, a life cycle assessment has been performed, to identify and quantify energy, material used and wastes released to the environment. In this report, data collections of raw materials, manufacturing processes, and end-of-life of products were accumulated step by step based on self-developed checklists. The manufacturing process is complex and composed of several unit operations, a product inventory cannot be optimally determined by simple measures. Therefore, this study is based specifically on its own system boundaries and hypotheses. The interpretation of the environmental impact was displayed, by the used of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) software tool, in terms of impact categories such as greenhouse effect, acidification, eutrophication etc., thus environmental conclusions can then be drawn from the study.

We can wait until a crisis forces us to dosomething. Or we can commit to working together, and start by asking the tough questions: How do we meet the needs of the developing world and those of industrialised nations? What role will recycling-oriented product/society play? What is the best way to protect the environment? Whatever actions we take, we must look not just to next year, but to the next 50 years (O'Reilly 2005).
