Greenhouse gas mitigation for U.S. plastics production: energy first, feedstocks later

Greenhouse gas mitigation for U.S. plastics production: energy first, feedstocks later

Plastics production is responsible for 1% and 3% of U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and primary energy use, respectively. Replacing conventional plastics with bio-based plastics (made from renewable feedstocks) is frequently proposed as a way to mitigate these impacts. Comparatively little resea...
