What is it about?

The resins are: UPR standard, UPR containing recycled PET material (rPET-UPR) and UPR containing bio-sourced material (BIO-UPR).The analysis focuses on comparing the variations in environmental indicators caused by resin selection for three increasingly complex product layers.

Why is it important?

rPET-UPR has an overall excellent behavior in terms of mechanical and environmental performance

Perspectives

Identification and evaluation of environmental alternatives is especially significant for the constructed space as it intertwines with the nature around us. Enhancing R&D with LCA assessment capabilities across the supply chain is one of the best choices which can be met today in ensuring sustainability.
