Clay Bricks
• Oldest man-made technology• Discovery -Indus valley Civilization
• One of the major Building Construction Material• India- 2nd Largest producer of Bricks in world.• Production growth rate- 4% /year• 2001- 140 million• 2011- 250 million (UNDP, 2013 & Maithel et al, 2012)
• 2nd Largest consumer of coal after Steel Industry in India- 35 million tones coal consumption/year
(Lalchandani & Maithel, 2013)

Role of LCA
10
• Provides A Scientific Approach• Detailed analysis –
• Raw material, • Process • Fuel consumption• Relative impact on environment
• LCA provides Holistic view of resource use and impacts of products/process by considering cradle to gate concept.
Objectives and Scope• Objectives• To study the energy consumption pattern
in traditional bricks• To study and analyze the natural resource
consumption• To study Socio-economic impacts of
traditional bricks in Western MH.• Scope• Traditional Bricks production in Western
Maharashtra

On-site data collection
• Interviews of Brick kiln owner, workers and stakeholders
• Sources of raw material• Distance travelled• Fuel required for brick kiln and transport• Emissions• Socio-Economic Impact

Primary data
• Mining of soil is done manually and transported with tractors or truck
• Bagasse is taken from sugar factories nearby 50 km area.
• Coal and coal powder is imported from Chandrapur, Wani area- avg. transport distance 470 km
• Foundry sand is taken from nearby foundries about 15 km radius area
• Drying of green bricks by heat of natural solar energy

Conclusion• Environmental Impact depends upon
quantity and quality of coal used in kiln.
• High socio-economic impact• Easy Traditional technology• Movable technology• Low capital investment• Need to modify traditional technology to
reduce the pollution
