The Plastic Packaging Problem

Acidification Potential – Acidification refers to the decrease of pH value in terrestrial and water systems.

Eutrophication Potential – Eutrophication is the disturbance of the nutritional balance in the soil and waters due to an added amount of nutrition.

Photochemical Oxidant Formation Potential– Hydrocarbons and volatile organic carbons (VOCs) contribute to ground-level ozone formation. 

Use of Resources – Resources used in the upstream, core and downstream phases, including renewable and nonrenewable resources and secondary resources, such as electricity and water use during manufacturing.
