Abstract: Material flow analysis (MFA) was used to analyze the material and energy consumption and the environmental load of beer industry in China in 2000-2005, and life cycle assessment (LCA) was adopted to assess the environmental impacts of the beer production. The results showed that from 2000 to 2005, the consumption of material and energy for China beer industry had an increasing trend. With the progress of technology, the pollutant discharge coefficient for one unit beer production (1 kL) decreased year by year, but the annual discharge of pollutants from the beer industry still kept rising. Among the potential environmental impacts of beer industry in China, the eutrophication effect caused by discharged wastewater was most important, and from 2000 to 2005, the environmental impact potential values of the beer industry for eutrophication, dust, global warming, acidification, and solid wastes were all kept growing. Implementing ecological transition of beer industry and establishing circular industry would be necessary for the sustainable development of beer industry in China.
