The paper presents an LCA analysis of biomaterials with particular emphasis onpolylactic acid (PLA), as it is recognized as one of the most popular bioplastics on themarket. The results show that there are several factors to consider when selecting thebest decommissioning option for this type of material in line with the newly introducedcircular economy concept, which is the most desirable way to manage waste. A lifecycle assessment was carried out to assess the environmental impact of two wastemanagement pathways...
