Initial Results from AVK Sustainability Project Released - NetComposites
The AVK working party on sustainability has collected data for standard formulations in the area of resins and published key statistics for standard glass fibre products.
According to AVK, understanding and modelling the environmental impact of manufactured products is becoming increasingly important in many industries - and the composites industry is no exception. Consequently, it says, many manufacturers either want or are required to assess this aspect of their products and components. Until now, however, the data required for performing a life cycle analysis (LCA) has not been available, particularly for the raw materials used in the production process.
