The impact was evaluated using the life cycle assessment (LCA) technique and comparing two alternative systems: current AGL, manufactured from virgin HDPE, and optional AGL, made with recycled HDPE obtained from post-consumer packages. The AGL manufacturing phase was found to be responsible for most of the impacts in both systems, with the production of the raw material being the largest contributor for that phase. The present study makes a contribution to the problem of developing value-added products made from post-consumer polymeric recyclates. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0734242x10379146","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,8,11]],"date-time":"2010-08-11T03:44:58Z","timestamp":1281498298000},"page":"414-422","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Life cycle assessment of a road safety product made with virgin and recycled HDPE"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Carla L","family":"Sim\u00f5es","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"PIEP - Innovation in Polymer Engineering, Campus de Azur\u00e9m, Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal, IPC - Institute for Polymers and Composites\/I3N, University of Minho, Campus de Azur\u00e9m, Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal,"}]},{"given":"Susana M","family":"Xar\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Biotechnology, Portuguese Catholic University, R.
