Abstract

The sustainability indicators for the manufacturing process of turbine blades were identified and analyzed using the Life Cycle Assessment. The evaluation of indicators follows the ReCiPe methodology, focusing on the air, water and soil emissions emitted by each process. The results obtained provide information of the toxicity potential that affects human health and the ecosystem. The study concludes with possible actions to replace those operations of the process with the higher environmental impact
