Abstract

In order to help decision makers choose reinforcing material that causes the lowest environmental impact, it is very important to carry out a comparative impact analysis. In this chapter, the environmental impacts of using 100% recycled PP fibres were assessed by using cradle to gate life cycle assessment (LCA) based on the Australian context. The LCA results showed that industrial 100% recycled PP fibre offers significant important environmental benefits over virgin PP fibre and steel reinforcing mesh (SRM). Specifically, the industrial recycled PP fibre can save 93% of CO2 equivalent, 97% of PO4 equivalent, 99% of water and 91% of oil equivalent, compared to the SRM.
