ABSTRACT
This study aims to show the scope of environment impact due to tyre treatments.
The study scrutinises a firm’s case, Marangoni S.p.A, which is one of the first
pneumatics treatments firm with emphasis on disposed and recostructed exhausted
pneumatics.
In particular those pneumatic’s treatments are two: reconstruction (30% of the
whole amount of the pneumatics given) and incineration (70% of the whole amount
of the pneumatics given).
With LCA methods (EcoIndicator 99, EPS 2000, EDIP 97, IMPACT 2002) it has been
possible to value the impact on the environments in terms of human health,
ecosystem quality and resources.
In addition, comparison with the principal process and subsidiary processes
within the main one has brought to highlight how some results could be
understood in different way. This interpretation should bring politics and
socials network to take decision in order to save our planet.
