| Abstract | care missions and projects for its unwavering corporate social and environmental responsibility. This thesis assessed the environm ental impacts on all transportation systems of Double A A4 fine paper using the life cycle assessment method. The goal of this study is to analyze the life cycle inventory and assess the environmental impact of transportation and distribution system of the whole life cycle of Double A A4 fine paper, and identify the most significant processes or activities that contribute to environment, and find out managing and solution in order to reduce the impact. The scope boundaries included all transportation system s that are divided into three main phases; transportation system from cradle to mill gate of 1 ton Double A A4 fine paper, transportation system from gate to domestic market of Double A A4 fine paper in 2009 and transportation system relate to the end of l ife in Thailand. The sources of data collection were derived from Double A directly and literatures, websites, reports and SimaPro database. After entering all data into SimaPro software, the environment impact was assessed in terms of carbon footprint and environmental impact categories including climate change, fossil fuels, acidification & eutrophication and respiratory inorganics. |
