Abstract (EN): After a general discussion regarding different approaches towards sustainability with composite systems, several examples will be presented and discussed with respect to the design criteria for a given application. In fact, from the mechanical characterization of PHA and PLA blends to the use of cork as a core in sandwich construction will aim for a larger incorporation of composite systems from renewable resources in structural applications and mass production.
