Resins beat concrete and steel in environmental impact study
A bridge made from glass fiber reinforced composite resins is up to 5 times better for the environment than a bridge from concrete or steel. The carbon footprint is also much smaller. This was demonstrated by a life-cycle study that was presented 1 July 2009. These figures are based on the use of the new DSM resins for InfraCore composite bridges built by FiberCore Europe.

The study was executed as an initiative of Fibercore Europe, Senter Novem and DSM.
