Abstract

Natural fiber reinforced polymer composites have recently received substantial attention due to their potential for replacing conventional fiber reinforced polymer composites, specifically synthetic fiber reinforced ones.Based on a real part, the impact of using natural fibers is assessed using the Life Cycle Engineering approach. Ramie and Jute are the selected natural fibers and the comparison is done with the E-Glass and Carbon Fiber parts (a conventional material is used as baseline - Aluminum). The life cycle performance of the material alternatives is assessed economically and environmentally. The technical performance is also assessed completing the Life Cycle Engineering approach.
