Resumo: Introduction: Consumerism has led to an increase in environmental problems, and for this reason, sustainable solutions must be the priority when designing new products or services. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is one of the most important analytical tools available for choosing the best decision when it comes to sustainability. Objective: The focus of this study was to apply an LCA to the management of wastes from a kitchen/bathroom countertop production. The waste management scenarios studied were landfill (current practice) and waste recycling. The panel consists of a ceramic layer on a lamellar panel substrate, formed by glassliner and PVC, which is intended to be resistant to water, scratches and impacts. The residues generated from the panel production are glassliner and PVC plastics and ceramics. Methods: The LCA methodology was followed and the EPD 2018 method available in the SimaPro software was chosen to quantify the environmental impacts of waste management. The environmental impact categories studied were eutrophication, global warming, photochemical oxidation, ozone layer depletion, abiotic depletion and acidification. Results: The results showed that the two plastic wastes are the main contributors to acidification, eutrophication and global warming. However, for photochemical oxidation and water scarcity, the ceramic component residue is the main contributor. Comparing the two scenarios, waste recycling reduces the impacts in all environmental impact categories, in comparison with landfill. Conclusion: Recycling the residues from the production of panels brings improvements in environmental impacts in all categories analyzed.

La evaluación del ciclo de vida (ECV) es una de las herramientas analíticas más importantes disponibles para elegir la mejor decisión en lo que respecta a la sostenibilidad. Objetivo: El enfoque de este estudio fue aplicar un ECV a la gestión de una producción de un panel para bancos. Los escenarios de gestión de residuos estudiados fueron vertedero (práctica actual) y reciclaje de residuos. El panel está formado por una capa cerámica sobre un sustrato de panel laminar, formado por glassliner y PVC, que está destinado a ser resistente al agua, arañazos e impactos. Los residuos generados por la producción de paneles son revestimientos de vidrio y plásticos y cerámicas de PVC. El estudio actual del escenario de gestión de residuos fue el vertido (práctica) y el reciclaje de residuos. Métodos: Se siguió la metodología LCA y se eligió el método EPD 2018 disponible en el software SimaPro para cuantificar los impactos ambientales de la gestión de residuos. Las categorías de impacto ambiental estudiadas fueron eutrofización, calentamiento global, oxidación fotoquímica, agotamiento de la capa de ozono, agotamiento abiótico y acidificación. Resultados: Nuestros resultados indujeron a que los dos desechos plásticos son los principales contribuyentes a la acidificación, la eutrofización y el calentamiento global. Sin embargo, para la oxidación fotoquímica y la escasez de agua, el residuo del componente cerámico es el principal contribuyente. Comparando los dos escenarios, reciclaje de residuos en todas las categorías de impacto ambiental, analizados en comparación con vertedero. Conclusión: Se pudo observar que el reciclaje de los residuos de la producción de paneles trae mejoras en los impactos ambientales en todas las categorías analizadas.Introdução: O consumismo tem levado a um aumento dos problemas ambientais e, por isso, as soluções sustentáveis devem ser a prioridade na hora de projetar novos produtos ou serviços. A Avaliação do Ciclo de Vida (ACV) é uma das ferramentas analíticas mais importantes disponíveis para escolher a melhor decisão quando se trata de sustentabilidade. Objetivo: O foco deste estudo foi aplicar a ACV para a gestão de resíduos resultantes de uma produção de um painel para bancadas de cozinhas e casas de banho. Os cenários de gestão de resíduos estudados foram o aterro (prática atual) e a reciclagem de resíduos. O painel é cnstituído por uma camada de cerâmica sobre um substrato de painel lamelar, formado por glassliner e PVC, que se destina a ser resistente à água, a riscos e a impactos. Os resíduos resultantes da produção do painel são plásticos glassliner e PVC e cerâmica. Métodos: A metodologia ACV foi seguida e o método EPD 2018 disponível no software SimaPro foi escolhido para quantificar os impactes ambientais da gestão de resíduos. As categorias de impacte ambiental estudadas foram eutrofização, aquecimento global, oxidação fotoquímica, depleção da camada de ozono, depleção abiótica e acidificação. Resultados: Os resultados mostraram que os dois resíduos plásticos são os principais contribuintes para a acidificação, eutrofização e aquecimento global. No entanto, para a oxidação fotoquímica e escassez de água, o resíduo do componente cerâmico é o principal contribuinte. Comparando os dois cenários, a reciclagem de resíduos diminui todas as categorias de impactes ambientais analisadas em comparação com o aterro. Conclusão: A reciclagem dos resíduos da produção dos painéis acarreta diminuição nos impactes ambientais em todas as categorias analisadas.Polytechnic Institute of Viseu (IPV)2022-07-29info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.29352/mill0210e.25165eng1647-662X0873-3015Silva, Luiza Fernandes Carneiro daSilva, MariaBrás, IsabelDomingos, IdalinaWessel, DulcineiaFerreira, Joséinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-06-15T15:02:09Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/25165Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:29:36.170420Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
