Assessing the sustainability of Green PE transparently
How Companies Benefit from an LCA – Identifying Optimization Potential and Making Sustainable Decisions
LCA – Why a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is crucial for true Sustainability
How sustainable is a material really? This cannot be answered by green labels or appealing promises – only with hard facts. A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) examines the entire life cycle of a product: from raw material extraction and manufacturing to usage, disposal, or recycling. This is especially critical for bio-based plastics like Green PE – because only an LCA can reveal whether they truly offer an ecological advantage or if their “green” image hides a CO₂ footprint that is larger than expected. For companies, this is not only intriguing but strategically essential: Where can emissions be reduced? What optimization opportunities exist? And how can truly sustainable decisions be made?
How LCA provides clear Insights: Green PE – Sustainable Revolution or just Greenwashing?
Plastics are an essential part of our daily lives – they make medicine safer, transportation lighter, and packaging more efficient. However, the downsides of their improper use are hard to ignore: rising CO₂ emissions, overflowing waste piles, and dependence on fossil resources. Bio-based plastics, like Green PE, are often seen as a more sustainable solution: made from renewable resources, recyclable, and with the potential to reduce the CO₂ footprint. Sounds like a real alternative – but does the material live up to its promises? The answer lies in the data. And this is exactly where we take a closer look in this webinar.

Agenda
- LCA Basics
- How sustainable is Green PE?
- How is CO₂ reduction or storage calculated?
- What do I do with this information? How can I use it?
- Biobased Carbon Content vs. Mass Balance: Which is the better approach? A comparison.
- Does this also apply to recycled materials?
For our webinar, we have invited Braskem’s LCA specialist Yuki Onda Kabe, who will join Niklas Voß to discuss the role of life cycle assessments (LCA) for sustainable products and their claims. The webinar is aimed at employees from plastic processing companies, packaging manufacturers, and anyone involved in sustainable materials and responsible production. It provides practical knowledge on how an LCA is structured, what insights can be gained from it, and how this knowledge can be applied to communication, product development, or product improvement.
Whether you’re new to the topic or looking to deepen your expertise – this webinar offers valuable insights for those who want to not only promise sustainability but also prove it.
