LCA evaluation of PLA degradable plastic

Problem Phenomenon
The LCA (life cycle assessment) results of PLA are highly uncertain.
Cause Analysis
The raw material source (corn, sugarcane, etc.), process energy consumption, and end-of-life disposal greatly affect the LCA.
Solution
Require complete LCA data; continuously optimize the production chain to reduce the carbon footprint.
Key Takeaway
The sustainability of PLA needs scientific evaluation and should not be blindly advertised.
