A further three different disposal scenarios were investigated
besides the base scenarios: two “improved” scenarios for the EPS
packaging, where the recycling ratewas assumed to be 30% and 50%
respectively, and an “improved” scenario for the prototype packaging
where the biological recycling rate was set at 50%, whereas
the residual streams to incineration and landfill were scaled
maintaining the same proportions.
A detailed description of end-of-life (EoL) scenario modelling
along with the inventory data elaborated can be found in the
Supplementary Material to this paper.
