3.27 Adding a plan We will now add an End of life scenario. We will create the End of life scenario on a separate plan. By doing this, you could put different waste treatment steps and variations and recycling processes on this plan and separate the steel flow fraction according to recycling rates. We are not quite ready for that level of modelling so, in our example, we just assume that our paper clip will be sorted out of the municipal waste with a magnetic separator and will then be recycled. To keep it simple, we will only take the steel recycling process into account. 75. Go back to the GaBi DB Manager, click on „Plans‟ and then create a new plan by right clicking in the display window. 76. Name it „End of Life Paper Clip.‟ For now we will place only one process on the plan. 77. Click on the „Search‟ button, search for „EAF steel.‟ 78. Drag and drop it onto the plan Since each plan requires one fixed process, this process must also be fixed. 79. Double click on the process and set the scaling factor to „1‟ and select „Fixed‟ just like before. 80. Save and close this plan. 54
We will now add this newly created plan to the Life Cycle Steel Paperclip Plan. 81. Drag and drop the „End of Life Paper Clip‟ plan from the DB manager onto the already open „Life Cycle Steel Paper Clip‟ plan. 82. Connect the „Use Phase Steel Paper Clip‟ process with this plan. 3.28 Creating a closed loop Since the recycling of our End of life plan produces steel and has the output flow ´steel billet´, you can model a circular material flow within the paper clip life cycle by connecting the output flow of our end of life plan with the steel wire production process. 83. Connect the „End of Life Paper Clip‟ plan to the „Steel wire‟ process now. You can see that the amount of steel that is provided by the primary steel billet production decreases by the amount of steel that is provided by the recycling plan. Congratulations, you have now completed modelling the life cycle of a paper clip! 55
