Module 3: Plastics Life Cycle, Value & Supply Chain, and Impact

Plastics Circular Economy E-learning Course

Module 3: Plastics Life Cycle, Value & Supply Chain, and Impact

About this module

This module gives an overview of the Life Cycle Thinking concept. The conventional plastic and bio-plastic life cycle were introduced for more understanding to apply to the circularity of plastic products. The modules show examples of supply chain management in order to apply CE concept to plastic products. The recycling technology both mechanical and chemical is introduced with the example of the Life Cycle Environmental Impact of plastic resin.

Duration

12 min

Learning Objective
