Paper: Microplastic aquatic impacts included in Life Cycle Assessment
Scientific methods for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) evaluate a broad range of environmental impacts, but the ecological effects of microplastics are often not included. In this research, we have developed a method to also account for the effects of these 'small particles' of plastic in environmental and sustainability analyses. This represents an important step towards a comprehensive understanding of the impact of plastic products.

Fewer microplastics and higher yields in plastic recycling
During the processing of plastic packaging waste, tiny plastic particles are unintentionally released. For yoghurt or quark containers, this loss averages around 15% of the material intended for recycling.
