Asses s ing the environmental profile of candles from used cooking oil Carla Caldeira 1, *, Camillo De Camillis 2 , Pedro Serpa 1 , Dulce Boavida 3 , Filipe Duarte Santos 1 1 SIM – Systems, Instrumentation and Modeling, Sciences Faculty of Lisbon University, Lisboa Portugal 2 Departmen t of Sciences, University “G. d´A nnunzio”, Pescara, Italy 3 National Laboratory of Energy and Geology, Lisboa, Portugal *cscaldeira@fc.ul.pt Abstract This paper presents the environmental pro file of candles from used cooking oil. The environmental profile was identified by implementing and analysing results from the following methodologies: screening Life Cycle Assessment (LCA); Life Cycle – for the F – SLCA); and audit against the Swan eco – label criteria specifically developed for candles. Normalization results of the screening LCA highlighted eutrophication, ecotoxicity, soil chronic and human toxicity as the most harmful impact categories. The SLCA showed some a good environmental performance in the early stages of packaging and distribution, use and end – of – life of the new candle. In the most of cases, the Swan eco – labelling criteria seemed to be fulfilled by the new candle. The only non – conformities might be related to the use fragrances and some missing chemical tests. 1 Introduction Considering the significant amount of used cooking oil from households and restaurants, OON (Out Of Nat ure – Home Recycling Solutions SA., a Portuguese start – up company), has recently designed and developed the Candlemaker, an innovative solution to recover this waste stream. This small device, which is very similar to a coffee machine, transforms used cook ing oil into candles. Each candle produced by the Candlemaker is composed of a pod – the Candlepod – and used cooking oil. The candle is placed into a recycled glass container, the Candleholder.
