Plastics — Carbon and environmental footprint of biobased plastics — Part 2: Material carbon footprint, amount (mass) of CO2 removed from the air and incorporated into polymer molecule

Plastiques — Empreinte carbone et environnementale des plastiques biosourcés — Partie 2: Empreinte carbone des matériaux, quantité (masse) de CO2 captée dans l'air et incorporée dans les molécules de polymères

Abstract / scope

This document defines the material carbon footprint as the amount (mass) of CO₂ removed from the air and incorporated into plastic, and specifies a determination method to quantify it.

This document is applicable to plastic products, plastic materials and polymer resins that are partly or wholly based on biobased constituents.
