Food production involves both agricultural and industrial activities which consume several resources among which: water, energy, land, minerals chemicals. The efficiency in the use of depends on type food is produced adopted processes. In any case if discarded or lost at step supply chain this represents a waste energy resources. For reason, LIFE project irexfo, coordinated by University Perugi...

At the international level, increasing efforts have been made to assess burdens of transport by road and adopt effective mitigation strategies. In this study, life cycle analyses carried out compare environmental performances 100 m-long highway sections during 60 year-service life. According standard EN 15804, emissions abiotic depletions assessed for four different cross-sections (i.e., embank...

This paper evaluates life cycle Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions of a Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant and assesses its performance under three power supply scenarios. A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) analysis is conducted for a plant located in Perth, Western Australia (WA). Input and output flows of SWRO plant are based on literature and Perth desalination plants. The Simapro Aus...

In this study, the environmental impacts of rapeseed production were studied using SimaPro software. The initial data collected from 30 farmers in Alborz Province by face-to-face questionnaire method. selected functional unit (FU) was one Mton-1 production. Five indices evaluated, including potential abiotic depletion, acidification, eutrophication, global warming and ozone layer depletion. To ...

This study presents a case that aims to select the ideal internal wall panel option causing less environmental impact for Sumerbank Kayseri Textile Factory restoration process, which is now used as part of Abdullah Gul University’s main campus. Since university has an agenda, examining impacts materials ongoing process potential contribute these goals. For this purpose, three most interior pane...

A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was undertaken to compare the potential environmental impacts associated with use of Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) as a partial replacement natural aggregates in production Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA), those conventional Hot (HMA). The LCA conducted according ‘cradle-to-laid’ approach, including four pavement phases. Three percentages RCA for coarse WMA were conside...

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) identification on impacted environment using SimaPro 9.1.1 softwareutilizesbaseline CML-IA V3.06/EU2method. Evaluation performed three form partnership, namely (1)...

The present paper aims to investigate the environmental impacts of a real municipal solid waste management facility operating in Italy including two power units, i.e., combined heat and system an internal combustion engine, fed by biogas produced from anaerobic digestion disposal sanitary landfill. Life Cycle Assessment study is carried out Simapro 9.1.1.7 and, addition base case scenario, impl...

Abstract Soil is a local material which allows populations in warm regions to better cope with severe environmental conditions. The materials’ performance depends on the chemical and physical nature of soil. greatest problem these materials remains their high sensitivity shrinkage, vulnerability terms cracking due drying. These pathologies may lead radical decrease mechanical performance. Sever...
