Abstract

Extract of the document : “The objective of this report is to support policymaking on single-use plastic products using LCA as a tool to complement evidence-based decision-making. It presents a range of actions already undertaken by Member States to address plastic pollution with a particular emphasis on actions that have been informed by life-cycle thinking, as well as the results of eight meta-studies on LCA of single-use plastic products and their alternatives”.
