LCA: Environmental impact assessment of shellac material
This project aims to evaluate the environmental impact of shellac material throughout its life cycle using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The study will focus on two primary objectives. First, to apply the selected impact assessment method to analyze the various stages of the shellac life cycle. Second, to perform a regional impact assessment to understand the environmental effects specific to different geographical regions. The goal is to provide a comprehensive and accurate evaluation of the environmental impact of shellac, thereby contributing to more sustainable practices in its use and production.
