Life cycle assessment of a synthetic leather made with & without apple waste

The goal of this LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) study is to identify the potential environmental
benefits related to the partial substitution of polyurethane (PU) with processed waste from
apple processing (WAP). This substitution non only reduces the consumption of PU but also
improves the management of the waste deriving from apple processing because, in a
circular economy perspective, a waste is valorised, re-utilised and substitutes another raw
material
