Comparing two types of mainstream disposable lunch boxes by LCA and exploring the possibility of converting carbon dioxide into products.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A disposable lunch box is an important cause of "white pollution". Many people consider that the disposable polylactic acid (PLA) lunch box is more environmentally friendly than the disposable paper pulp lunch box and can substitute for the latter.

Objective

We can determine whether PLA tableware is more environmentally friendly than paper tableware by analyzing the product life cycle of two tableware types. At the same time, as a continuous compound, carbon dioxide has significant commercial value. Carbon dioxide materials' applications range from beverages to cosmetics and building materials. The future application of carbon dioxide in the field of lunch boxes is discussed in this paper.

Methods

In this paper, the production stages of the two types of dis
