Abstract

Cilj ovog rada bio je izraditi Izjavu o utjecaju odabranog proizvoda na okoliš (engl. Environmental Product Declaration, (EPD)) te pojasniti poziciju takvih deklaracija u strategijama Europske unije. Odabrani proizvod je betonski opločnik proizvođača Beton Lučko. U prvom dijelu rada proučena je strategija Europske unije u kontekstu održive proizvodnje u građevinarstvu. Opisani su ciljevi održivosti Unije za 2050. godinu te predviđene metoda dostizanja tih ciljeva. Procjena životnog ciklusa (engl. Life Cycle Analysis, (LCA)) jedan je od alata održive proizvodnje te je temelj za izradu deklaracija o utjecaju na okoliš. U radu je također opisana metodologija LCA i temeljne norme koje definiraju LCA, uloga LCA u strategiji EU te je opisan rad s GaBi software-om koji služi za izradu procjena životnog ciklusa. U drugom dijelu rada, stečeno znanje primjenjeno je na izradu LCA procjene za betonske opločnike. Na temelju procjene napravljen je primjer EPD-a.

Abstract (english)

The goal of this master’s thesis is to create an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for a selected product and to clarify the position of such declarations in the strategies of the European Union. The selected product was a concrete paver manufactured by Beton Lučko. In the first part of the paper, the strategy of the European Union was studied in the context of sustainable production in construction. The objectives of the sustainability of the Union for the year 2050 were described, as well as the predicted methods of achieving these objectives. Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is one of the tools of sustainable production and is the basis for creating environmental impact declarations. The thesis also described the methodology of LCA and the standards that define LCA, the role of LCA in the EU strategy, and the workflow of GaBi software, which is used for creating life cycle assessments, was presented. In the second part of the work, the acquired knowledge was applied to the creation of an LCA for concrete pavers. Based on the assessment, an example EPD was created.
