Abstract

Population growth have led to environmental crises. Industrial waste is one of the pollutants that has a very negative impact on the environment.The purpose of this study was to investigate the existing status of waste management and to propose a new and optimal method for waste management of Shams Abad industrial estate.Basically the most important part of the waste in the town were stone solids and the main focus of this research is on these wastes .For stone waste management, two scenarios have been investigated, including: (1)the use of stone waste for the production of paper and (2)the production of bricks and ceramic production.In order to compare the scenarios using the life cycle assessment method, in the first step, after determining the range and fields of the research, a complete list of the sub-processes of each of these scenarios was prepared.SIMAPRO software was used to perform logging of the life cycle of each scenario .Results: The results of this study showed that the production of ceramic and bricks would have less effect on the environment. By producing bricks and ceramics from this kind of waste, it can reduce the amount of waste,the cost of ceramic and brick production.
