As published by ScienceDirect in “Toward the Sustainable Use of Conveyor Belts: Life Cycle Assessment of End-of-Life Options,” researchers examined how different end-of-life strategies affect the environmental impact of conveyor belts. The study evaluates options such as recycling, reuse, and disposal through a life cycle assessment framework.

Findings show that selecting more sustainable end-of-life pathways can significantly reduce environmental burdens associated with conveyor belt materials. Life cycle assessments help manufacturers and operators make informed decisions that support sustainability goals while managing material handling systems responsibly.
