Environmental performance comparison of bioplastics and petrochemical plastics: A review of life cycle assessment (LCA) methodological decisions

George Bishop et al.

Summary: The shift from petrochemical to bio-based plastics is being accompanied by a need for comprehensive and appropriately designed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies to provide clear evidence on the comparative sustainability of bioplastics. A review of 44 relevant studies published between 2011 and 2020 revealed common gaps and weaknesses in the current LCA studies applied to benchmark bioplastics against petrochemical plastics, highlighting the importance of more detailed and transparent reporting of LCI data, comprehensive impact assessment methodology, and consideration of multiple plastic use cycles and additives.
