Eco-efficiency assessment of manufacturing carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) in aerospace industry

As an activity-based assessment model, EEAM guides the decision-makers toward sustainable direct applications. It is concluded that direct applications for fiber waste reduction are beneficial for both eco-efficiency aspects. Energy consumption reduction is ecologically beneficial, while labor work reduction on the other hand is cost relevant. In aerospace industry, there is a clear potential for eco-efficient direct applications that satisfy both aspects.
