Available online 26 December 2016

Highlights

Analysis of improvement scenarios in the production process of Mushroom.

The research includes all stages of the production process.

The implementation of the scenarios can get reduction in all impact categories.

aThe improvement scenarios achieved a reduction from 16.25 to 194.63%.

 Abstract

The aim of this study is to obtain a critical analysis of the reduction of environmental impacts in the production of the mushroom Agaricus bisporus. This is done through a series of proposed scenarios at each stage of the production process: mycelium production, composting and cultivation cycle. The improvement scenarios included in this research are: replacement of cereal straw by hay, as base material of compost; elimination of the pre-moistening phase of the straw; use of biofilters for composting in closed tunnels and pasteurization chambers; maximization of load capacity of compost in air-conditioned growing room; and energy optimization and use of renewable energy sources in the production process. The implementation of the successive improvement scenarios leads to a decrease of the environmental impact. The individual scenarios can be combined to obtain a reduction in all impact categories; one of the scenario combinations provides the best results, producing reductions in all the categories, from 16.25% in Global Warming to 194.63% in Terrestrial ecotoxicity, with other important reductions such as 55.28% in Marine aquatic ecotoxicity.
