LCA EVALUATION OF RECYCLE PAVEMENT USING SCRAP TIRE AND WASTE PLASTIC

Abstract

Recently, the development of the recycled resource is active in the background of effective use of the resource and the depletion of the final disposal dump, etc. Especially, the development of the technology used for the pavement of those recycled resources is active. Using these recycled resources comes to recycle certainly. However, whether it has contributed to the environmental load decrease in total until abandoning since using these manufactures it is not clarified. Then, the resource consumption, the saving resource, and the environmental load when using it for pavement were provisionally calculated for scrap tire and waste plastics, and LCA evaluation was examined. As a result, it was shown overall might decrease the environmental load though the recycled resource pavement might partially increase the load.
