An evaluation of thermoplastic composite fi llers derived from construction and demolition waste based on their economic and environmental characteristics

Petri Sormunen et al.

Summary: The study compares the use of waste materials in the production of thermoplastic composites and finds that wood fiber filler has the best price and weight properties, mineral fillers are suitable for applications where weight is important, and unfilled recycled plastic is recommended for applications where covered area is important.

Consumer willingness to pay for bio-based products: Do certifications matter?

Piergiuseppe Morone et al.

Summary: The European Commission aims to promote a more efficient and harmonized policy regulation framework for bio-based products. An artefactual field experiment in Italy revealed the existence of a green premium, with consumers willing to pay more for bio-based and certified products. Demand for conventional products is more elastic than for bio-based and certified bio-based products, with certification playing a key role in consumer decision making.

An overview of non-biodegradable bioplastics

Md Hafizur Rahman et al.

Summary: Bioplastics have brought flexibility to human life but also introduced challenges in waste management. Approximately half of the current bioplastic market is not biodegradable, posing a problem for governments and policymakers. The production of bioplastics usually starts from biomass and goes through various modification techniques to produce non-biodegradable bioplastics.

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.
