Study on the Environmental Friendliness of Biomass Dishware Based on Life Cycle Assessment

Abstract:

Biomass materials are the best substitute for those made of plastic packaging materials all over the world. Widespread application of these materials can control or eliminate the increase of white pollution problem effectively. In this paper, the analysis model of biomass 450 ml lunch box was established based on Life Cycle Assessment, and then the environment Friendliness of the box, such as resource consumption, environment quality and human health, was analyzed. The results have shown that the resource consumption, environment quality and human health of biomass products were 26.6mPt, 6.23mPt, 16mPt, and these parameters of plastic products were 291mPt, 12.1mPt, 74.1mPt. Therefore, the biomass products have better environmental Friendliness than plastic products.
