Fibre naturali e circolarità in architettura – Sostenibilità ambientale, economica e sociale

https://doi.org/10.69143/2464-9309/18192025Parole chiave:
fibre naturali, architettura sostenibile, valutazione del ciclo vita, analisi dei costi del ciclo vita, valutazione del ciclo vita socialeAbstract
Nel quadro di riferimento nazionale e internazionale le fibre vegetali presentano notevoli potenzialità di integrazione nel settore edilizio. L’adozione di materiali a base biologica si allinea agli SDG dell’Agenda 2030, in quanto incide sul consumo di risorse idriche, sull’energia e sul carbonio incorporati e sulla promozione di filiere sostenibili. Una review sistematica esamina l’interazione tra due settori economici strategici, quello agricolo e quello delle costruzioni, con lo scopo di individuare potenzialità e limiti nel raggiungimento degli obiettivi di sostenibilità. I risultati evidenziano che la sostenibilità ambientale delle fibre naturali nel settore delle costruzioni è un tema ampiamente presente in letteratura e sottolineano la necessità di promuovere l’integrazione tra strumenti di valutazione del ciclo vita per coniugare qualità ambientale, responsabilità sociale e impatto economico, contribuendo a un modello produttivo coerente con l’SDG 8.
