A3-02 Development of environmental assessment method for plastic resource recycling system

Principal Investigator

GENCHI Yutaka(National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology)

Research overview

We will collect key environmental and safety information on the characteristics of recovered plastics and processes for recycling them. We will propose a method for calculating the carbon footprint (CFP) of the entire supply chain, and we will study how this information can be included in PLA-NET J with the aim of contributing to the social implementation of a circular economy.
