Life cycle assessment scenarios dredged sediments

This research paper evaluates the environmental and economic impacts of two dredged sediment management scenarios—landfilling and soil conditioning—in Malmfjärd Bay, Sweden, as part of the EU LIFE SURE project.

• A life cycle assessment (LCA) comparing sediment landfilling and soil conditioning in Malmfjärd Bay found that soil conditioning had the lowest environmental impacts and the most favorable economic evaluation. This was primarily due to environmental savings and reduced purchase costs resulting from lower fertilizer consumption, although the process was associated with potential risks of toxicity and eutrophication that could be mitigated through pre-treatment.
• The primary environmental impact identified for the sediment landfilling scenario was the emission of greenhouse gases during the operation of the facility.
