1 HO CHS CHULE F ÜR T E CHNI K RAPPERSW IL I BU INS T I T UT F ÜR BAU UND UM W EL T avnir 2013 Nov 5 th : LCA of recycled concrete: Environmentally superior to virgin concrete? 1. Why such a study, and how? 2. Results for (natural and/or recycled gravel): -- concrete -- a building -- construction in a region 3. Conclusions Discussion by Dr. Arthur Braunschweig (E2), Prof. Susanne Kytzia (HSR), S. Bischof (Holcim)
2 Goal of this LCA: Better vista, better insight! E2 A. Braunschweig / avnir 2013 / LCA Recycled Concrete? / p. 2
3 Why such a study? Concrete is key for buildings and infrastructure CH is densly populated gravel gets un-attainable Growing consciousness Recycle concrete! (Minergy standard) 2005 CH: Demolished concrete covers 1/8 of gravel (9 of 70 mio t/a) In city areas, e.g. Zürich, 1/3 (0.8 of 2.2 m t/a)! Recycled concrete can be used - loosely, as gravel - fixed, in lean concrete - fixed, in high-quality ("construction") concrete and in all situations replaces virgin gravel! Technology, markets - but eco? LCA! E2 A. Braunschweig / avnir 2013 / LCA Recycled Concrete? / p. 3
4 Four LCA-studies on gravel and concrete a) Gravel (virgin & recycled) b) Concrete (high-quality & lean) c) A construction project d) Construction in a Swiss region Key assumptions, e.g.: Team: Prof. S. Kytzia & team, HSR / Holcim / A. Braunschweig, E2 Data sources: Ecoinvent, Holcim (CH) E2 A. Braunschweig / avnir 2013 / LCA Recycled Concrete? / p. 4

15 Conclusions of this study Lean concrete made from recycled gravel is environmentally superior, esp. for resource use (land, gravel). A high-quality concrete w/ recycled gravel has a similar environmental effect as a concrete with natural gravel (except for gravel & land use). Knoeri et al (2013) add: Recycling of steel from reinforced steel makes RC even more advantageous. Concrete using recycled gravel is preferrable if construction waste would otherwise be landfilled. On regional scale it is important that demolished concrete is used either loosely or in new concrete and not landfilled. How it is used is less important. Key parameters: Cement type and amount, and transport means and distances. All but the 3 rd conclusions are based on Kytzia et al. 2011, Ökobilanz rezyklierter Gesteinekörnung für Beton E2 A.
