A cradle-to-gate based life cycle impact assessment comparing the KBFw EFB hybrid reinforced poly hydroxybutyrate biocomposite and common petroleum-based composites as building materials

摘要: Abstract Aligning the sustainability in construction process can be achieved through material selection with low impact on environment and human health. Today, biocomposite materials are investigated developed to replace none, less eco-friendly used industry leading emergence of next generation sustainable green building materials. This paper aims develop a model fully hybrid bio-based based Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), comparing it petroleum-based composite, which common conventional The methodology framework this research is determined ISO 14040 14044. Also, ReCiPe as method SimaPro software chosen for appraising LC assessment (LCIA). highlights negative effect these kinds providing single scores coming from three gauges including Human Health, Ecosystems resources. It observed that substituting composite has led decline about 30% score outcome. significance related important judgement information policy makers prospective manufacturers commercialization phase new biocomposites
