The “Cradle-to-grave” LCIA results for both packaging systems
for the base scenario are shown in Table 2, whereas the overall
results are graphically shown in Fig. 2.
The starch-based prototype packaging scored better than the
benchmark (the EPS packaging system) for NRER, GW, POF and AD
(from 90% to 50%), similar for OD and worse for AP (þ10%) and
EU (þ30%).
