The worldwide challenge of climate change necessitates sustainable practices in all sectors, particularly given the substantial emissions from buildings. This highlights the urgent need to reduce their environmental footprint. Industry experts are using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to measure the ecological impact of construction materials. This research examines the environmental effects of six types of flooring materials through LCA and EPDs, with an emphasis on the consumption of raw materials, aiming to uncover paths toward greener options.

Abstract
The worldwide challenge of climate change necessitates sustainable practices in all sectors, particularly given the substantial emissions from buildings. This highlights the urgent need to reduce their environmental footprint. Industry experts are using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to measure the ecological impact of construction materials. This research examines the environmental effects of six types of flooring materials through LCA and EPDs, with an emphasis on the consumption of raw materials, aiming to uncover paths toward greener options.File in questo prodotto:
