36. The first detailed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study showed that RSPO-certified sustainable Palm Oil has 35% lower global warming impact and 20% lower biodiversity impact from land-use changes than non-certified Palm Oil produced in Indonesia and Malaysia. 37. Some experts claim that sustain...
Towards sustainability Determining factors The environmental impacts of palm oil production and use can be assessed from a life-cycle point of view. This means carrying out a holistic perspective in which emissions are taken into account, from the raw material extraction to the recycling or disposal...
Earthcycle Packaging is a privately-held, Canadian-based company that distributes palm fiber packaging in North America. The biodegradable and compostable packaging is made from molded palm fiber, a waste product left over after the palm fruit is harvested and pressed for oil. Previously incinerated...
The system boundary covers the entire life cycle from well-to-wheel (WTW) including oil palm plantation, crude palm oil extraction, biofuel production, logistics and distributions, and lastly the consumption of fuels. Functional unit of this study is 1 kg of fuel. The results indicate that the...
oil palm cultivation on mineral soil. The business-as-usual scenario assumes an oil palm plantation life cycle of 25 years. The simulated alternative management scenarios assume a life cycle of 30 years (scenario A), 40 years (B), and 30 years with a hypothetical, earlier-yielding oil palm...
