Sustainable plastic products

As defined in Chapter 1, sustainable plastic products can be created with lower carbon footprint, lower waste, and lower pollution than conventional plastic products. Plastic products can be used for sustainable plastic packaging, bottles, and bags. Life cycle assessments (LCAs) can be used to compare the different options for plastic packaging, bottles, and bags. Those three plastic products account for approximately 40% of all of the plastic products sold, but approximately 10% of the plastic products in a typical landfill and approximately 30% of the plastic waste in the oceans.
