Edible cups have been proposed as a solution to littering and plastic pollution arising from disposal of 500 billion beverage each year. We applied life cycle assessment indicator benchmark the environmental performance edible against mainstream cup types made paper, polylactic acid (PLA), polystyrene (PS) reusable polypropylene (PP) steel. Various end-of-life treatment scenarios were analysed. Across most impact categories, incur largest burdens, smallest (if reused at least 54 times)....
Due to the importance of water management, and good governance for humanity’s wellbeing future, 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda has established global Water Goal (SDG 6). Mobilization different sectors is required. The private sector an important role, it increasingly aware substantial risks business. Thus, timely quantify monitor potential environmental impacts with international standard (ISO 14046:2014), in order prioritize investments reduce direct indirect from uses within...
The significant grasslands of Europe and its member states represents a feedstock opportunity for circular bioeconomy development. development green biorefineries (GBR), to supply protein the feed industry from grass, could help many European address deficits in availability reduce imports. current study assesses environmental footprint alternative GBR extraction techniques grasses legumes using life cycle assessment. focus is on comparing technology pathways that displace soya bean finds...
Edible cups have been proposed as a solution to littering and plastic pollution arising from disposal of 500 billion beverage each year. We applied life cycle assessment indicator benchmark the environmental performance edible against mainstream cup types. Across most impact categories, largest burdens, reusable smallest. Under default assumptions, per use, climate change burdens ranged 0.004 0.1 kg CO2 equivalent, eutrophication 6.12 × 10–6 4.21 10–4 N, fossil resource depletion 0.04 0.284...
