| Description | Reducing environmental impacts throughout the life cycle of products while maintaining the company's position in the market and its place in society is called 'sustainable product design'. Sustainable development 'meets the needs of present necessity without compromising the environmental gifts of future generations to meet their own needs'. Potential impacts such as acidification and eutrophication relevant to agricultural production chain are considered in the Product life cycle impact assessment. A colour change of 35% in a bamboo fibre/polypropylene composite after 10 months of natural weathering has been shown to be near equal in value to that in a composite sample after 800 hrs of UV exposure. The energy release rate (dU/dN) differs from the applied strain level by a power function and the coefficients of the power called fatigue coefficients. It can be used to predict the useful life of fibre-reinforced polymeric composites under fatigue loading. Cracking, chalking, yellowing, brittleness, and loss of transparency are commonly seen in conventional natural fibre–reinforced polymers exposed to natural weather.
