Cartography of agricultural by-products available in the World for a potential use in building materials

Résumé

As the world became more and more urbanized, the consequences of this transformation have led to major impacts on the environment. One of those impacts have been the materials used in construction. That applies in particular to non-renewable materials used in construction. On the other hand, agriculture produces large amounts of by-products every year. and the problem is that there is not a lot of ways to recycle such abundance in the number of agricultural by-products, most of them either return to the soil or is burnt, which have a strong impact environmentally. Identify potential crop by-products to be recycled or to be valorised will help construction industry to find more eco-friendly solutions. In this study, a focus has been made on crops presenting by-products with a potential use in the construction industry. We were interested in a lot of plant aggregates, for example: coconut shell, oil palm kernel shell, bagasse, tobacco waste, rice, maize, sunflower, miscanthus, wild giant reed… The distribution of the crops in a regional-to-world context, using geo-spatial data, have been analysed to pinpoint the most of them. Data of harvested areas and the potential production quantity of each crop have allowed to estimate the potential quantities of plant aggregates. This study can also be used to understand the global patterns of farming systems as well the abundance and the similarities of crops production that can be found very close regionally.
