This presentation explains tools and methodologies used to report the carbon and environmental footprints of bioplastic materials. Attendees will learn how “biobased” and “biodegradability” are defined based on scientific principles; learn how to identify and quantify biobased (carbon) content in a product; learn how, using biocarbon content values, to calculate and report the intrinsic carbon footprint reductions of a bioplastic product; understand how to use LCA tools to calculate and report on the total environmental footprint of a bioplastic product; learn about skewed/misused LCAs because of data quality or imposed boundary conditions; learn about end-of-life options like biodegradability; and learn how to effectively and transparently use LCA methodology for continual improvement, new options, and new material choices for reducing the environmental impact of a product offering.
