Abstract
The objective of this study was to identify the main environmental impacts of thermoacoustic panels manufactured from agricultural byproducts and thereafter propose measures to improve the environmental performance of this product system. The life cycle assessment (LCA) technique was used to account for the environmental impacts in 10 impact categories. The environmental hotspots were the consumption of electricity at the manufacturing stage, and the use of wheat bran as main input. To improve the environmental performance of the system it was suggested the use of different feedstocks throughout the year, thus accounting for seasonality of agricultural byproducts. Another suggestion was to acquire more energy-efficient equipment, on their own or share the equipment with a partner, or acquire a specific energy mix from the local energy carrier or a third party.
