    Sustainability Analysis and Optimisation of a PET Recycling Factory in the MENA Region
    (EnviroInfo 2023, 2023) Winiarz, Tim; Wohlgemuth, Volker; Ramzy, Amna
    This study demonstrates the use of environmental informatics methods in the MENA region, where sustainability approaches still face major challenges. The following case study focuses on the analysis and optimisation of the environmental performance of BariQ, a PET recycling factory in the MENA region. Through the application of a MEFA, an LCA and an environmental benchmarking with a competitor in Europe, the Egyptian company’s level of performance and areas with potential for improvement are identified. Additionally, a photovoltaic system is set up and evaluated as an optimisation attempt of BariQs environmental impact.

    Sustainability Assessment for Semi-automated Solar Panels Production Facility
    (EnviroInfo 2023, 2023) Fawzi, Ahmed; Ramzy, Amna
    This research work demonstrates the potential of material and energy flow analysis (MEFA) digital tool to address sustainability concerns in Semi-automated production lines in SMEs. The paper presents the application of MEFA on a solar panels’ assembly facility in the MENA region. The importance of thorough data collection is highlighted as it allows for accurate mapping of how materials and energy are flowing through a system especially in case of manual assembly lines. The challenges in data acquisition are addressed and the improvement scenarios are presented by using simple innovative methods such as QR codes to streamline the data collection process, saving time and reducing errors. Overall, this paper demonstrates how material and energy flow modelling can be used to identify areas for improvement in sustainability practices in small and medium enterprises using simple digital tools.
