• Sustainability assessments of bio-based polymers (2013, background): “While there have been studies clearly stating that biopolymers will not break down under landfill conditions, particularly PLA [41,53,59,63], others still report methane emissions from landfilling as an impact in the life cycle for these products [42,50,51,54,55], thus increasing the GWP associated ”
