LCA webinar for bioplastics: Green PE and Green EVA under the lifecycle lens
In the free LCA webinar, brand owners, plastic converters, and sustainability managers will learn how I’m green™ bio-based Polyethylene (Green PE) and I’m green™ bio-based EVA (Green EVA) can measurably reduce the carbon footprint of their products.
Braskem’s I’m green™ bio-based Polyethylene (Green PE) and I’m green™ bio-based EVA (Green EVA) are bio‑based plastics that enable companies to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of their plastic applications—without requiring major changes to existing processing technologies (see Braskem). In our Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) webinar, we will walk you through the environmental footprint of these materials step by step. You will learn how the LCA is structured, which system boundaries are considered, and which sustainability indicators are most relevant for corporate reporting and product decisions.
In this webinar you will learn:
- How an LCA for Green PE and Green EVA is structured
- How the CO₂ footprint and environmental impact compare to fossil-based plastics
- How to make informed material decisions—from packaging resins to technical components
Why Life Cycle Assessment matters
How sustainable a plastic truly is can only be determined through a solid Life Cycle Assessment – not by green labels or catchy marketing claims. An LCA examines every stage of a product’s life cycle: from sourcing (e.g., sugarcane for Green PE and Green EVA) to production, use, and end-of-life treatment such as recycling or disposal. Especially for bio-based materials like Green PE and Green EVA, this is crucial. Only a comprehensive LCA can reveal whether they truly offer an environmental advantage over fossil plastics – or if the “green” image hides a larger CO₂ footprint than expected. An LCA provides reliable insights: Where do the main emissions occur? Where can CO₂ reductions be achieved? And how can you communicate your sustainability goals credibly?
Who should attend?
This webinar is designed for professionals responsible for material selection, sustainability strategy, and product development.
Typical participants include:
- Brand owners looking to integrate bioplastics into their product portfolio and communicate sustainability credibly
- Plastic converters and processors who want to understand the LCA implications of using Green PE and Green EVA
- Sustainability managers and procurement specialists who require reliable LCA data for reporting, customer inquiries, and certifications
You will learn how to strategically implement Green PE and Green EVA while maintaining the technical performance and process compatibility required in industrial applications.
Key takeaways
During the webinar, we will cover:
- The fundamentals of LCA methodology and its relevance for bioplastics
- The latest LCA data for Green EVA and its implications for product strategy
- How CO₂ emissions and carbon storage are calculated for bio‑based polymers (see Braskem)
- A comparison of emissions and costs: fossil-based vs. bio‑based plastics
- Bio‑based carbon content vs. the mass balance approach
- How to use LCA results in tenders, customer discussions, and sustainability reports
Interactive Q&A session
The webinar includes an interactive Q&A session where participants can vote live on the most relevant questions. Our experts Niklas Voss and Yuki Onda Kabe will address the most voted topics in depth. Participants can also submit questions during registration—selected questions will be integrated directly into the discussion.
Why you should join
Participants will gain:
- Reliable data and arguments to support the use of Green PE and Green EVA
- Greater confidence when selecting sustainable materials for new products or redesign projects
- Clear insights into CO₂ balance, bio‑based carbon content, and the role of bioplastics in LCA comparisons
- Direct access to experts on Green PE, Green EVA, and Life Cycle Assessment
