- Cradle-to-grave]]> 2021-05-21 09:04:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sma14kho/jyzvw1cql05uwgs3/wish/1547104851 Life Cycle Inventory sma14kho https://padlet.com/sma14kho/jyzvw1cql05uwgs3/wish/1547105313 Raw material acquisation, oil refining (less water than paper), energy, transportation, use 

Common plastic bag (LDPE):                   1 time
Paper bag:                                                  43 times

Plastic bags require 58 gallons of water to produce 1500 bags.(Paper bags require 1502 gallons of water to produce 1500 bags.)
(Plastic bags require 71% less energy during the production process and 36% less nonrenewable energy during their life time than paper bags.

> Colouring matters in production

- Need to take social cost of health effect of waste/micro plastics > after life
> There is no consensus on how to address marine littering impact in LCA

- Add pant +
- Raise price to change consumer > EU policy
