摘要: NatureWorks® polylactide (PLA) is a versatile polymer made entirely from annually renewable resources. Within the framework of sustainability, NatureWorks LLC working to continuously improve environmental performance its product portfolio and using life cycle assessment as tool identify measure performance-improvement objectives benchmark PLA against petroleum-based polymers with which it competes in marketplace. NatureWorks’ include eliminating non-renewable energy use emissions greenhouse gases (GHGs), well minimizing non-valuable co-products reducing water use. These are accomplished through continual improvement production technology utilization for process much possible. purchasing wind power-derived certificates (RECs) an amount equal electricity used system commitment utilize en...
