Comparative indicators on life cycle assessment for aluminium and polyamide 6, highlighting environmental impacts.
Global awareness of the importance of environmental protection is driving the aviation sector to research, identify, and implement standards and practices throughout all stages of an aircraft’s life cycle, with the aim of achieving sustainable aviation and reducing environmental impact. In this context, the aviation field is adopting an interdisciplinary approach known as Life Cycle Engineering (LCE) and the methodology called Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), with the purpose of harmonizing the design, production, operation, and end-of-life phases of components. This approach takes into account not only environmental, economic, and social concepts but also the systematic evaluation of the environmental impact of a component/product throughout its entire life span from raw material extraction to disposal, reuse, or transformation into a new product. This article conducts a study on comparative indicators related to LCA for alumnium and polyamide 6 materials using the OpenLCA software.
