1 Life Cycle Assessment of Composites A Sustainability Story Use of Composites in Building Applications Composites Innovation Centre Winnipeg, MB Canada March 27, 2012 Michael D. Lepech Assistant Professor Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Stanford University
2 Outline Introduction to Life Cycle Assessment Practices Case Studies in Sustainable Composite Building Applications Value Proposition of LCA Concluding Thoughts
3 Life Cycle Assessment Compilation and evaluation of the inputs, outputs and the potential environmental impacts of a product system throughout its life cycle ISO LCA standards are voluntary LCA Standards: Principles and Framework Requirements and Guidelines
4 Life Cycle Assessment Primary Materials (e.g., ores, biotic resources) Recycled Materials (open loop recycling) Primary Energy (e.g., coal) Labor Raw Material Acquisition recycling T Material Processing Retirement & Recovery remanufacture T T T Manufacture & Assembly Use T T reuse Air pollutants (e.g., Hg) Water pollutants (e.g., BOD) Solid waste (e.g., MSW) Products (e.g., goods, services) Capital Disposal Service Co products (e.g., recyclables, energy) Adapted from Center for Sustainable Systems (2003)

17 Life Cycle Impact Assessment Evaluation of the magnitude and significance of the potential environmental impacts of a product system using inventory analysis results
18 Life Cycle Impact Categories Input related categories abiotic resource extraction biotic resource extraction land use Output related categories global change (climate, ecosystem, etc.) stratospheric ozone depletion human toxicity ecotoxicity photo oxidant formation acidification nutrification
19 Impact Comparison Impact (Pt) STRONGRAIL Mild Steel Winter Smog Summer Smog Pesticides Carcinogens Heavy Metals Eutrophication Acidification Ozone Layer GHG
20 Life Cycle Interpretation Draw conclusions and recommendations from inventory analysis and/or impact assessment identify major burdens and impacts select among alternative designs or materials
21 Interpretation: Strategies for Improvement Reduce transportation from suppliers Reduce paint overspray Reduce resin use (significant contribution to environmental impact, particularly from styrene) Substitute bio based resins Introduce alternative to styrene Implement pultruded FRP remanufacturing
22 Outline Introduction to Life Cycle Assessment Practices Case Studies in Sustainable Composite Building Applications Value Proposition of LCA Concluding Thoughts

42 Outline Introduction to Life Cycle Assessment Practices Case Studies in Sustainable Composite Building Applications Value Proposition of LCA and Concluding Thoughts
43 Green Competitive Environment Firms are using green as a competitive advantage in many different ways Value in Regulatory Compliance Value in Operational Efficiency Value in Risk Management Value in Capital Investment Value in Market Growth Value in Strategic Direction Competitors in the green sector are competing in a number of innovative ways
44 Conclusions Large business opportunities have been realized using quantitative sustainability assessment (i.e. LCA) to measure the life cycle impacts of products and systems Composites have a strong sustainability story in the building sector Need to measure the impact through rigorous life cycle assessment Need to leverage the data in product design, business operations, and marketing Participate! Industry data collection of life cycle inventories (i.e. AMCA Green Composites Committee) Completion of an LCA Sharing of your results with the broader community
