> This work presents the life-cycle GHG emissions and fossil fuel consumption of producing PLA bioplastic. Production of PLA (cradle-to-gate) is responsible for the net release of 1.22 tons CO2e (3.04 tons CO2e gross emissions ― 1.83 tons CO2e biogenic carbon credit) and consumes 33.8 mm Btu of fossil fuel energy per ton of PLA. Conversion was the major contributor of GHG emissions in the supply chain. Conversion of feedstock into PLA resin consumes 32.91 mm Btu of fossil fuel energy (~97% total fossil fuel consumption) and produces 2.74 tons of CO2e per ton of PLA produced.
3D printing isn't very green
