Comparative Study on Environmental Impacts of Grocery Bags through LCA

This project was conducted to compare the environmental impacts of two types of grocery bags which are High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic and paper by subjecting them to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Around 95% of plastic bag used nowadays end up as wastes causing many concerns including solid...
