Life Cycle Inventory of 100% Postconsumer HDPE and PET Recycled Resin From Postconsumer Containers and Packaging

This analysis does not include impact assessment. It does not attempt to determine the fate of emissions, or the relative risk to humans or to the environment due to emissions from the systems. (An exception is made in the case of global warming potential impacts, which are calculated based on internationally accepted factors for various greenhouse gases’ global warming potentials relative to carbon dioxide.)
A life cycle inventory quantifies the energy consumption and environmental emissions (i.e., atmospheric emissions, waterborne emissions, and solid wastes) for a given product based upon the study boundaries established. Figure 1-1 illustrates the general approach used in a full LCI analysis.
