Sustainability has emerged as one of the main pillars of modern engineering, especially in sectors with high environmental impact such as aviation. This article presents a scientific analysis of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of components replaced during aircraft maintenance, considering environmental, economic, and regulatory aspects. LCA provides a systemic view of environmental impacts throughout all phases of a component's life, from resource extraction to final disposal. Based on academic references and technical reports up to 2023, the study seeks to understand how applying this method can support sustainable decision-making, optimize resource use, and reduce the ecological footprint of the aviation industry.
