MATERIAL IMPACTS ASSIGNMENT- BIOPLASTIC - PLA

Fundamentals of Sustainable Design | Holly Robins |Fall 23

This project focused on mapping the lifecycle of PLA bioplastics, highlighting its environmental impacts from raw material sourcing to end-of-life. The assignment aimed to refine the lifecycle map, using design and data visualization skills to make it more accessible and informative. The sustainability objective was to analyze the advantages and limitations of bioplastics in reducing plastic waste and environmental harm compared to traditional fossil fuel-derived plastics.
