An environmental life-cycle assessment of selected concrete recycling processes

Social and economic development trends require that the economy be based on sustainable consumption and sustainable production patterns by means of implementing an effective recirculation policy – this is also important from an environmental perspective. Consequently, the design of economic processes becomes increasingly complex. This paper presents method and results of environmental life-cycle assessment of selected stages of the concrete recycling process. The results will be used in a further, holistic assessment of managing the concrete waste on the construction site.
