| Abstract: | Background, aim, and scope In recent years, besides being recycled domestically, a part of Japanese post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles
have been exported to and recycled in mainland China. In this study, life-cycle assessment (LCA) was applied to compare domestic
and transboundary recycling scenarios between Japan and China and disposal scenarios from the viewpoints of greenhouse gases
(GHG) emission and fossil resource consumption. |
