Minho, Portugal: University of Minhoc2019  ap. 416-417.  aAbstract: Sisal (Agave sisalana) is a natural fiber produced in Brazil in marginal semi-arid areas where represents an important source of income for the local population. This study assessed the environmental performance of sisal production in this context. Its production process has low technological level and low inputs, which implies low yield per hectare, but also low environmental impact, compared to other agricultural products. The main sources of impacts are agricultural and processing operations.  aEnvironmental performance  aLife cycle assessment  aPlant fibers  aSisal  aAvaliação do ciclo de vida  aPerformance ambiental1 aSILVA, O.
