“…Additionally, research like [40] delves specifically into the structural compositions of cement-based materials used in 3D printing, contributing essential knowledge to the material science aspect of this field. Another area largely unknown in nearly every phase, including design, process technology, and material, is the environmental effect and life cycle evaluation of 3DP technology for construction [41][42][43][44][45]. Several previous reviews have discussed the overall technological consideration, potential, and material development of 3DP systems for the building [46][47][48][49][50].…”

Providing rapid, efficient, inexpensive, and resilient solutions is an eminent and urgent need for emergency relief conditions, mainly and increasingly driven by the impacts of climate change. Under such disastrous circumstances, the current practice involves preparation, dispatching and managing significant amounts of materials, resources, manpower, and transportation of basic needs, which can be hindered remarkably by infrastructure damage and massive loss of lives. However, an emerging technology known as 3D printing (3DP) can play a significant role and rapidly bring unlimited innovative solutions in such conditions with much lesser resources to meet the necessities of large populations affected. Considering the recent progress of 3DP technology and applications in different industrial and consumer sectors, this study aims to provide an analysis of the status and current progress of 3DP technology in various fields to understand and present its potential for readiness and response to disasters, emergency and relief need driven by climate change. Secondly, this study also presents a sustainability assessment of 3DP technology for such cases to evaluate economic, environmental, and social impacts. Finally, policies and strategies are suggested to adapt 3DP technology in different sectors to prepare for large-scale emergencies.

“…Furthermore, the impacts on non-renewable energy, ozone depletion, and global warming were also reduced by up to 7%, 6%, and 9% respectively. Namra et al [34] conducted a life cycle assessment of production from recycled brick waste and recycled ceramic tilebased geopolymer. The results indicated reduced environmental impacts, with global warming potential (GWP), acidification potential (AP), eutrophication potential (EP), and ozone depletion potential (ODP) of 1352 kg CO2eq, 3.01 kg SO2eq, 0.19 kg Neq, and 6.56E-9 kg CFCeq respectively.…”

As global and domestic concerns about climate change intensify, the development and adoption of green and low-carbon manufacturing technologies to effectively reduce resource consumption, energy usage, and greenhouse gas emissions have emerged as primary trends in the evolution of the building ceramics industry under the backdrop of the “dual carbon” strategy. This article systematically reviews the commercially applied and research-stage green and low-carbon technologies within the current building ceramics industry. It conducts a carbon emission reduction potential analysis for various technologies, identifies constraints in the technology promotion process, and highlights the substantial carbon reduction potential of clean energy substitution technologies and manufacturing process optimization technologies. Technologies such as raw material substitution, high-quality service, and waste ceramic tile recycling and regeneration contribute significantly to economic and environmental benefits, but are still in developmental stages. The article also discusses the application of methods such as life cycle assessment and carbon footprint analysis in the evaluation of green and low-carbon technologies in the field of building ceramics. It discusses the trends and limiting factors of different green and low-carbon technologies, offering suggestions and support for the building ceramics industry’s transition towards a low-carbon and environmentally friendly direction.

“…Nevertheless, only a few studies [31][32][33] have conducted LCA for geopolymer binders based on WCBP. Migunthanna et al [31] performed LCA, comparing the environmental impact of conventional cement-based concrete and geopolymer concrete in rigid pavement construction, assessing CO 2 emissions and energy consumption across different stages.…”

“…This study used waste clay bricks, slag, and fly ash as precursors, with anhydrous sodium silicate as the activator, to produce one-part geopolymer concrete. Mir et al [32] performed LCA using GaBi software and followed the ISO 14040-44 guidelines [34] to assess the environmental implications of the use of geopolymers made from red brick waste and red ceramic waste. This study considered three optimized mixtures and curing methods for assessing environmental impacts including global warming potential (GWP), eutrophication potential (EP), ozone depletion potential (ODP), and acidification potential (AP), among others.…”

The global focus on geopolymer binder production has increased due to the adoption of waste materials and industrial byproducts. Given the gradual decline in the availability of fly ash and ground granular blast furnace slag (GGBFS) resulting from the decarbonization process in electricity and steel production, waste clay brick powder (WCBP) could be a viable substitute for these pozzolanic by-products. This study presents the economic and environmental benefits of the use of WCBP as a replacement for conventional pozzolanic by-products in geopolymer binder production by assessing its techno-eco-efficiency, environmental impact, and cost-effectiveness performances. The favorable mechanical characteristics exhibited by the fly ash–GGBFS–WCBP-based geopolymer binder emphasize the importance of assessing its sustainability alongside its technical viability. The study employed life cycle analysis (LCA), following ISO framework, and using the Simapro software 9.2, to evaluate the environmental implications of the use of WCBP-based geopolymer mixtures. Human toxicity emerged as the primary impact. Moreover, the analysis of life cycle costs highlighted key financial factors, with around 65–70% attributed to alkaline activators of the total cost. The production of alkaline activators was identified as a critical point for both environmental impact and economic considerations due to energy consumption. While WCBP-rich samples exhibit a 1.7–0.7% higher environmental impact compared to the control mix (CM), their high mechanical strength and cost-effectiveness make them technologically and economically efficient geopolymer mixes. In conclusion, the portfolio analysis for techno-eco-efficiency affirms that mixes containing 40%, 30%, and 20% WCBP are more efficient than those using 10% and 0% WCBP, respectively.
