Life cycle assessment of sisal produced in semiarid regions in Brazil.
Abstract: Sisal (Agave sisalana) is a natural fiber produced in Brazil in marginal semi-arid areas where represents an important source of income for the local population. This study assessed the environmental performance of sisal production in this context. Its production process has low technological level and low inputs, which implies low yield per hectare, but also low environmental impact, compared to other agricultural products. The main sources of impacts are agricultural and processing operations.
