Life cycle assessment plastics
The report discusses the developments in regulation of biobased plastics throughout the entire chain, both at EU and NL level.
The European Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy (COM(2018 28 final) proposes a vision where innovative materials and alternative feedstocks to fossil resources are developed and used...
Purpose: A circular (bio)economy is sustained through use of secondary raw material and biomass feedstock. In life cycle assessment (LCA), the approach applied to address the impact of these...
This study provides up-to-date cradle-to-gate information on the environmental footprint of polylactic acid (PLA) produced in Thailand at commercial scale, covering emerging topics such as water footprint...
The aim of the study “Environmental impact assessments of innovative bio-based products” is to provide science-based facts and evidences on the environmental impacts of innovative bio-based products and mostly plastic products...
Life cycle assessment of wood-plastic composites: Analysing alternative materials and identifying an environmental sound end-of-life option
In the drive towards a sustainable Bioeconomy, a growing interest in the development of composite materials made of plastics compounded with wood particles, known as wood-plastic composites (WPC), can be...
Environmental impact assessment of six starch plastics focusing on wastewater-derived starch and additives
Starch plastics are developed for their biobased origin and potential biodegradability. To assist the development of sustainable starch plastics, this paper quantifies the environmental impacts of starch plastics...
