Publication: Single-use Plastic Products (SUPP) and their alternatives: Recommendations from Life Cycle Assessments
Single-use plastic products are ubiquitous in our modern society but there is growing recognition of the need to consider alternative options. Based on the results of the UNEP Life Cycle Assessment metastudies series, this booklet shows what alternatives have the least environmental impacts for nine types of commonly used single-use plastic products, based on a systematic review of published Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) and case studies.
