In accordance with the principles of sustainable construction, the results of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) technique are useful inputs to the decision-making process when designing a building. This article presents such an analysis of a finished building product, which is a modified concrete mix. The calculations took into account the phases of the A1-A4 cycle, i.e. from the extraction of raw materials to the transport of the finished material to the construction site. Test results for concrete mixes and 28-day solid concrete are presented in tabular form. Based on all the test results obtained, it was found that the addition of waste polypropylene fibres has a positive effect on the key properties for the floor concrete. It has been found that proper processing of banding tapes or other polypropylene waste into macro-fibres can be a good example of proper waste management and can contribute to a significant reduction in residual waste. This additive is emission-free and sourced from recycling, making it an excellent alternative to commonly used dispersed reinforcement.

Zgodnie z zasadami rozwoju zrównoważonego budownictwa przy projektowaniu obiektów budowlanych, użytecznymi danymi wejściowymi do podjęcia procesów decyzyjnych są wyniki analizy cyklu życia LCA. W artykule dokonano takiej analizy na gotowym wyrobie budowlanym, jakim jest zmodyfikowana mieszanka betonowa. W obliczeniach uwzględniono fazy cyklu A1-A4, czyli od wydobycia surowców do transportu gotowego materiału na plac budowy. W formie tabelarycznej przedstawiono wyniki badań dla mieszanki betonowej oraz dojrzałego betonu. Na podstawie wszystkich otrzymanych wyników badań stwierdzono, iż dodatek włókien polipropylenowych pochodzenia odpadowego pozytywnie wpływa na właściwości kluczowe dla betonu posadzkowego. Zauważono, iż odpowiednie przerobienie taśm bandujących lub innych odpadów polipropylenowych na makrowłókna może stanowić doskonały przykład prawidłowej gospodarki odpadami i przyczynić się do znacznego ograniczenia zalegających śmieci, dodatek ten jest nieemisyjny, pochodzący z recyklingu i może stanowić doskonałą alternatywę dla powszechnie używanego zbrojenia rozproszonego.
