The goal of the research is the assessment of the impacts associated with the production of lightweight concretes containing recycled EPS, resulting from pre-consumer waste grinding activities. For this purpose, the performance mix design of ten different types of recycled mixtures has been developed, for which several performance attributes (workability, mechanical resistance, thermal insulation) have been tested. The work deepens, through LCA evaluations, the analysis of the critical issues related to the production stage of recycled EPS concretes, highlighting the potential benefits associated with the adoption of open-loop recycling strategies.
