Life cycle assessment of eco-brick production using PET particle reinforced epoxy resin composites

The process of urbanisation contributes to the growth waste generation and causes environmental pollution. One most common plastic is polyethylene terephthalate (PET). This often used as mixed material in construction. use life-cycle assessment (LCA) a possible tool assess sustainability product long term. After analysing latest literature, it was found that study PET building materials one sustainable alternatives for reduction. research improvement alternative through LCA. A gate-to-gate approach adopted this research. LCA Calculations production eco-bricks were carried out accordance with ISO 14044. GaBi software identify quantify impacts within system boundaries. calculations based on EDIP 2003 method assessing impacts. results show epoxy resin raw eco-tiles has an impact ozone formation (OF) 118 m2 UES*ppm*hours, which due chemicals adhesives eco-bricks. Eco-bricks made have better compressive strength than other materials. addition adhesive can increase by 50%. Despite advantages using eco-bricks, there are many uncertainties about their impact. It be concluded particles does not pose excessive risks mixtures lead significant reduction profile.
