“…For all the above reasons and considering the key issue that the requirement on sustainability (especially the sustainable use of natural resources in the Basic Requirements For Construction Works 7) has in the Construction Products Regulation (CPR, EU No. 305/2011 [63]) [64], it is expected that the numbers of EPDs could increase in the future.…”

The construction sector plays an important role in moving towards a low-carbon economy. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is considered one of the most effective methods of analytically evaluating environmental profiles and an efficient tool for calculating the environmental impacts in building design-oriented methodologies, such as building information modelling (BIM). At early design stages, generic LCA databases are used to conduct the life cycle inventory (LCI), while detailed stages require more detailed data, such as environmental product declarations (EPDs), namely documents that provide accurate results and precise analyses based on LCA. Limitations are recognized when using EPDs in BIM elements at different levels of development (LOD) in the design stages, especially related to the data consistency and system boundaries of the LCA. This paper presents a method of achieving accurate LCA results, that helps with decision-making and provides support in the selection of building products and materials. The method is validated by its application in the structural concrete of an office building located in Germany. The method defines a safety factor adopted for embodied impacts (“cradle-to-gate”), based on EPD results to predict the environmental impact of BIM elements at different LODs. The results obtained show that by integrating the method to conduct the LCA, the range of errors and possible inconsistencies in the LCA results can be reduced.

Recent rapid progress in industrialization and urbanization has made scientists to explore a green development so that environmental bodies should not be contaminated and living things should not face health threat. Even though industries not related to environmental concern should also develop a green way in their production. Eco-Industrial Parks are evaluated in several comparative studies, generally in advanced countries. An important message is that EIPs concurrently need advances in business relations, among several such as corporations, and resource flows. The profits for all are comprised enterprises, who take steps for reduction in the net waste production and/or resource consumption. The implementation of advanced technologies is required towards resource conservation. Another important matter is the manufacturing of new products and the urbanized zoned should be provided the environmental services. Concerning these all things, this paper deals with benefits of eco-industrial parks and sustainable development in the future. This paper also deals with how eco-industrial parks are beneficial for Europe and developing countries. Findings from previously published literature demonstrated that eco-industrial parks play significant role for eco-environment friendly sustainable development.

“…To develop clay brick as a sustainable construction material, the use of agricultural and industrial waste is a practical solution [5]. A classifi cation of waste according to its properties and its origin was carried out according to the European waste catalog EWC (European waste catalogue, 2002) and according to its role as an alternative material for the manufacture of fi red bricks [6]. Wastes classifi ed in the EWC 01 code are wastes resulting from the exploration, extraction or physical and chemical treatment of minerals; they are the most used in the manufacture of fi red bricks.…”

Purpose. Valorization of phosphate waste and diversification of the range of bricks by improving their mechanical properties. In this context, our work focused on the use of phosphate wastes from Djebel Onk (Tebessa) combined with clays from the Sidi Aich region (Bejaia) to manufacture a new variety of brick. The principle consists in varying the percentage of these wastes and the firing temperature. Methodology. After mechanical preparation in the laboratory, which consists of crushing, grinding and sieving operations, the two materials of phosphate and clays are characterized by several analysis techniques (XRD, IR and XRF). The brick manufacturing tests from these two materials were carried out for different weight percentages and for different firing temperatures. Findings. The combination of these two materials constitutes a new approach to the recovery of natural phosphates, which has a very high waste rate. Tests of making bricks from these two materials have yielded promising results. From a mechanical point of view, the best flexural strengths obtained at a temperature of 900 C vary from 3 to 5 MPa depending on the type of phosphate/clay mixture. The same goes for the compressive strength, which varies from 15 to 27 MPa depending on the type of mixture as well. These results conform to ASTM-C674, 1999 construction standards. Originality. The use of natural phosphate wastes from Djebel Onk in various proportions has resulted in a quality of brick that meets the international standards. Practical value. The mechanical properties of the brick made from these two materials, such as resistance to bending and compression constitutes a real significant recovery for the phosphate wastes from Djebel Onk.
