- The concept of Plastic Waste Footprint (PWF) can be used as a metric for environmental burdens, to compare alternative solutions on plastic production & waste management: the total mass of plastic waste generated by a process/product or service minus the amount of plastic avoided /reused / recycled / reprocessed.
- Further research:
- Collect data on PPE Lifecycle: CO2/GHG emissions of PPE generation & waste management
- Is it sustainable to use PPE as an energy source?
