ABSTRACT
In this work, a proposed evaluation tool for the performance of the available natural fibers based on integrated technical, economic, and environmental stand points is demonstrated. A novel Cost Per Waste-Volume Ratio (CPWVR) eco-friendly indicator for natural fibers is introduced here for the first time. Various natural fiber types were evaluated regarding the suggested integrated evaluation criteria simultaneously to capture the quality of fiber performance for producing biomaterials. Better evaluations of natural fibers regarding wide range of criteria will lead to better decisions regarding fibers’ qualities as well as their selections for industrial applications and enhance achieving better performance. Such evaluations should consider economic, physical, mechanical, and environmental characteristics as well as technical ones. New potential fiber types can be discovered and utilized in future cleaner production through keen evaluation criteria.
摘要
本研究提出并证明了一项综合考虑技术、经济和环境因素来评估可用天然纤维性能的评价工具。本文第一次引入一个新的天然纤维环保指标“成本/废物体积比”(CPWVR)。在研究中，对各种天然纤维在建议的综合评价标准上同时进行了评估，以全面了解用于生产生物材料的纤维性能质量。用广泛的标准更好地评估天然纤维有利于更明智地选择合适的纤维素，以用于最合适的工业应用和实现更高性能。这种评估应该综合考虑经济、物理、机械和环境因素以及技术因素。通过敏锐的评价标准，可以发现新的潜在纤维类型并应用于未来的清洁生产。
