CO2 Footprint Comparison

Fiber

Footprint

Industry Overall CO2 – Exposure

FIBER 800 - 1.400 kg CO2/t

Fiberglass 800 – 2.700* kg CO2/t

Carbon fiber ca. 25.000 kg CO2/t

Raw steel 1.850 – 2.500 kg CO2/t

Special steel 3.000 – 5.000 kg CO2/t

Aluminium 4.600 kg CO2/t

� CO2 – Exposure has a huge influence on the life-cycle assessment

� CO2 – Footprint of FIBERS is significantly better than of Carbon fibers or any other

conventional metallic material
