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.enMaterial and Energy Flow AnalysisLife Cycle AssessmentPET RecyclingBenchmarkingOptimisation of Environmental ImpactsSolar Energy SystemText/Conference Paper10.18420/env2023-0211617-5468
