Abstract
This paper simulates the environmental impact of a design alternative choice based on materials selection. Applying an interdisciplinary research approach, we have used lab results of a nanocomposite material obtained from the mixture with sugarcane bagasse in order to simulate the carbon footprint and energy consumed in a Solidworks Sustainability design experiment. This practice can offer useful insights both for material and design engineers demonstrating quantitative and qualitatively the implications of eco design alternatives in early life cycle, including the life cycle of a new material.
