    Result: Life Cycle Contribution To Total Carbon Footprint (%)

    Uploaded by

    Rumi Seif
    This document analyzes the carbon footprint of a plastic bottle's lifecycle. It finds that raw materials contribute 48% of the total carbon footprint, with bottle manufacture and filling contributing another 50%. Transportation and waste make up the remaining 2% combined. The largest carbon impacts come from the PET resin used for the bottle and the polypropylene resin used for the bottle cap.
