The increasing volume of Construction and demolition waste (CDW) associated with economic growth is posing challenges to the sustainable management built environment. largest fraction all CDW generated in member states European Union (EU) End-of-life (EOL) concrete. most widely applied method for EOL concrete recovery Europe road base backfilling, which considered low-grade recovery. common practice high-grade recycling wet process that processes washes into clean coarse aggregate...
To alleviate the pressure on rare earth supply chain, new technologies are under development for recovering, recycling and remanufacturing NdFeB magnets. In this study, anticipated environmental performance of large-scale is investigated compared to production primary do so, ex-ante life cycle assessment combines input from measurements pilot processes, expert technology forecasts, thermodynamic modelling, equipment data manufacturers. We examined effect four developments: process changes,...
Abstract Life cycle assessment (LCA) databases and software evolve. We analyzed to which extent evolving life inventory affect the comparison of technology alternatives, using a comparative LCA on permanent magnets as case study, with two selected tools: CMLCA Brightway LCA. migrated system models from alternated between ecoinvent database versions 2.2 3.1 3.6 in background. When v3.6 instead v2.2, change indicator results ranged 283%. The evolution impacted absolute amounts characterized...
The growing demand for minor metals creates both pressure on the supply chain of these and challenges in waste management. Consequently, there is a wide interest recycling opportunities. To identify opportunities, it key to understand bottlenecks drivers value chains. Hence, we analyzed existing recyclability frameworks related literature, revealing 113 factors that determine success metals. These were linked stages chain, i.e. manufacturing, use phase, collection, preprocessing,...
