Sustainable Composite Materials: A Review of Waste Reduction Strategies In Manufacturing
Keywords:
Sustainable composite materials, Additive Manufacturing, EoL, RTM, Waste reduction strategy, Cost savingsAbstract
Background: The manufacturing industry is poised for a transformative shift towards sustainability, driven by the pressing need to mitigate environmental impacts and reduce waste generated from traditional composite materials. This comprehensive review paper provides a pivotal roadmap for achieving this goal, presenting a systematic literature review of sustainable composite materials and waste reduction strategies.
Purpose: Evaluating the effectiveness of various strategies, the paper highlights significant benefits, including reduced waste, improved resource efficiency, and minimized environmental footprint.
Methods: The analysis encompasses key sustainable materials, including biodegradable and recyclable options, as well as effective waste reduction tactics such as design for recyclability, material selection, and end-of-life management. The effective applications of sustainable composite materials across various industries demonstrate their viability and potential for widespread adoption.
Results: Despite the fact limitations and challenges are also discussed, the findings offer invaluable insights for manufacturers, policymakers, and researchers seeking to pioneer sustainable manufacturing practices.
Conclusions: The paper identifies future research directions, including the development of novel sustainable materials, optimization of production processes, and implementation of circular economy principles, ultimately paving the way for a more environmentally conscious and responsible manufacturing sector. This research serves as a critical stepping stone towards a waste-minimized, sustainable future for the manufacturing industry.
