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
