  4. 12. Life cycle assessment of renewable-based hydrocarbon plastics

    Author : Christin Liptow; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; renewable LDPE; biomass-based plastics; simplified LCA for conventional; LCA and process simulation;

    Abstract : Plastics are an important commodity of our daily life. And although their majority is still based on fossil feedstocks, numerous efforts are made to stem the environmental consequences related to their production. One approach is the use of renewable materials (biomass) to produce today’s conventional plastics. READ MORE
