Abstract
- Sustainability as a priority: Central to the growth of the composite industry.
- Regulatory impact: Increasing regulations include sustainability mandates for composite products.
- Role of LCA: Life cycle assessment is critical for evaluating environmental sustainability in material selection and manufacturing.
• Growing research: LCA studies on composites have surged, showing an annual growth rate of over 20%.
• Variability and uncertainty concerns: Significant discrepancies in LCA data per unit weight of composite materials highlight risks of inaccuracies.
