3D printing of circular materials: Comparative environmental analysis of materials and construction techniques by Shoukat Alim Khan (14778226)

“…The main environmental "hot spot" identified for the geopolymer-based 3D printed construction process was the amount of electrical energy required for the mechanical processing of waste materials, which was more than 61% of the total GWP impact. In addition to decreasing solid CDW, the developed approach has significant potential for improvement by using more sustainable energy sources and reducing the amount of solid CDW generated.…”
