The Role of Renewable-Derived Plastics in the Analysis of Waste Management Schemes: A Time-Dependent Carbon Cycle Assessment

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an essential greenhouse gas removal (GGR) technology used to achieve negative emissions in bioenergy plants using biomass feedstock (Bio-CCS). In this study, the climate mitigation potential of a novel GGR consisting production renewable-derived plastics from municipal solid waste (MSW) refuse has been evaluated. This allows for carbon storage, variable periods, stable materials (plastics), thus overcomes technical limitations CCS. A time-dependent cycle assessment conducted based on Absolute Global surface Temperature change Potential (AGTP) metric. new method assess presented against traditional life (LCA). The proves be effective both landfill- incineration-dominant countries Europe. results obtained encourage implementation Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) their global forecasting scenarios ambitious targets set European Union. Thanks approach toward green sustainable economy established. study will help fill gaps between renewable production.
