Nanostructured green materials have become potential remedies in improving the mechanical performance as well as environmental sustainability in engineering practice. Such materials that are usually of a renewable nature provide a light, biodegradable, and strong alternative to the industry. The traditional methods of evaluation, however, tend to fail in measuring either the mechanical performance or the environmental impact alone, leading to inefficient material choice and inefficient design. In order to address these shortcomings, this paper suggests a hybrid model that will incorporate Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). LCA allows the determination of the impact on the environment of the lifecycle of the material, and FEA predicts the behavior of the material under its working conditions. The holistic system will guarantee that there is a balanced optimization of ecological footprint and structural integrity. The framework is used with nanocellulose-reinforced bio-compositions of panels in automobile interiors, in which it is possible to carefully determine the measures of stress resistance and sustainability. Findings indicate that the developed approach can improve the decision-making process, offering a thorough analysis, which proves the decrease in carbon emissions by 30% and the mechanical stability during the change in conditions. In that way, the suggested methodology will aid in the creation of high-performance and environmentally friendly materials to be used in high engineering processes.
