ALTERNATIVES FOR ACRYLIC SHEET

Acrylic sheet has more emboided energy(117 MJ/Kg ) than the Polycarbonate sheet (100 MJ/Kg ) and recycled acrylic sheet(110 MJ/Kg).So instead of using acrylic sheet, we can use polycarbonate sheet or recycled acrylic sheet.

ALTERNATIVES FOR ALUMINIUM ROD

Aluminium rod has more emboided energy (191 MJ/Kg ) than the nylon rod (148 MJ/kg ). So instead of using aluminium rod, we can prefer nylon rod.

ALTERNATIVES FOR NYLON ROD

Comparing nylon rod and plastic rod ,plastic rod has lesser emboided energy about 86 MJ/Kg. therfore plastic rod is preferable.

ALTRNATIVES FOR MILD STEEL

L Clamp made of mild steel which is having 153 MJ/Kg emboided energy .Here we can use plywood which is having 42 MJ/Kg emboided energy.

ALTERNATIVES OF ALUMINIUM C CHANNEL

Aluminium C channels has embodied energy 200MJ/kg. We can use tin C channels with unit embodied energy of 155MJ/kg or Steel C channel with 35MJ/kg.
