Assessment of carbon emission potential of polyvinyl chloride plastics

Plastic pollution has become a global concern, and research shown that carbon emissions during the lifecycle of plastics are rapidly consuming credits. This study focuses on effective assessment from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) using life cycle (LCA) method production recycling stages. The greenhouse gas emission potential is evaluated 1kg PVC plastic as functional unit. Research total stage 7.83kg CO 2-eq . hydrochloric acid, acetylene, electricity, water vapor 2.340 kg , 4.900 0.117 0.468 respectively. During phase, power consumption zone 0.184 followed by 0.156 natural gas. fossil materials contribute largest plastics. Therefore, how to effectively reduce use fuels or seek alternative raw can emissions.
