A Review on Plastic Waste Management Using Life Cycle Assessment Approach
摘要
Life cycle assessment is a method for estimating the environmental impact of any product for its span of life. Plastic waste management is the only solution to prevent plastic pollution and all the problems associated with it. Plastics can be divided into two types: thermoset plastics and thermoplastics. Most of the World’s total plastic consumption comprises thermoplastics. There are four methods available for plastic waste management in which Chemical and thermal recycling method is advantageous since it can process heterogeneous mix of plastic waste. This work is aimed to review all the types of thermoplastic waste management options, evaluating various environmental parameters through life cycle assessment and list the limitations and gaps of conducted research on the same.
