Life Cycle Inventory and Impact Assessment Data for 2014 Ingeo™ Polylactide Production

摘要: Abstract Ingeo polylactides are versatile biopolymers made from annually renewable resources and produced since 2001 by NatureWorks at what is now a 150,000 t/y facility in Blair, NE. published ecoprofile data for production 2003, 2007, 2010. All the ecoprofiles were calculated using Boustead Model, which has also been used European trade group PlasticsEurope (Brussels) early 1990s. Since 2011, updating major fossil-based polymers different life cycle assessment (LCA) consultants updated databases. To ensure consistency ease of comparison, just it 2010 GaBi (version 6.3) LCA software latest available This paper provides description system, 2014 ecoprofile, calculation evaluation environmental indicators. The results primary, nonrenewable energy green...
