Summary
LCA database of environmental impacts to inform material selection process.
An inventory will be created of the component materials which will form the basis of the composites. This will be informed by the use of background data from the ELCD and Ecoinvent databases. Where partners have already conducted their own LCAs, the information will also be incorporated into the database, where this is compatable. Where there are data gaps, these will be filled by conducting searches of the scientific literature and any published environmental product declarations. Where this is not possible, modelling will be used. All of this information will be incorporated into an excel spreadsheet. A report will accompany this spreadsheet.
