Ingeo PLA currently has an estimated cradle-to-gate GHG of 0.5—0.7 kg C02/kg, compared to 1.6—1.7 and 2—2.2 kg C02/kg for PP and PET, respectively, depending on production method and mode of calculation (Corbion Purac, 2013 Natureworks, 2009). In comparison to wool or cotton fibres, PLA requires significandy less water and land for the production of an identical weight of fibres (Hagen, 2013). When combined, these positive factors result in a highly sustainable polymer that has the potential... [Pg.105]
