LCA Indicates Biodegradable Plastic from Plantic Saves Enough Energy to Power 2.5 Aussie Homes

Plantic
Technologies commissioned RMIT University, Melbourne, to undertake
a streamlined update of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Plantic biodegradable
plastic packaging system compared with alternative polymers. The updated LCA
reveals that every tonne of Plantic® sheet purchased in place of petrochemical
polymers will save up to 2.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide (the average annual emissions
of a compact car) and enough energy to power 2.5 average Australian homes.
