Analysis of the environmental performance of fluidized landfills

The construction industry has significant environmental impacts in terms of consumption of natural resources, energy and, in turn, emit gases that contribute to the global calendar. On the other hand, the consumption of plastic by banana industries is threatening; due to this, the present study aims to evaluate the performance of environmental impacts associated with the manufacturing process of fluid filling with recycled polyethylene terephthalate from the banana industry. It was used the guidelines of ISO 14040-14044, life cycle analysis, using ReCiPe Midpoint V1.13 methodology. It was determined that the conventional flowable filler has a 141 kg CO2 eq/m^3 and the flowable filler with polyethylene terephthalate decreases to 139 kg CO2 eq/m^3. The innovative product reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 2% without losing its 3MPa strength and in turn contributes to a circular economy.
