Abstract

The major pasta industries have started to evaluate the impact of their production through the Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) or the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD®), according to ISO 14040 and 14025 standards. In this work a production chain of a traditional pasta was investigated and compared with some commercial and conventional products. Results indicate that the traditional pasta may cause impacts of 1.160 kg of CO2eq emissions and 11.360 of MJ of fossil energy consumption per each kg of dried pasta produced, without considering the phases of distribution and domestic cooking.
