Ecosystem Abatement Logic & Industry Calculation Model
Baseline: ~8.4M MT Global Pallet Wrap Volume
Tertiary stretch film represents one of the largest single unrecyclable plastics streams in global supply chains. If global distribution hubs convert from linear fossil LLDPE to certified compostable circular biopolymers:
• Carbon Abatement Factor
1.33 kg net CO2e reduction per kg of fossil polyethylene displaced through bio-feedstocks.
• Process Water Ratio
45 Liters of freshwater conserved per kg resin by eliminating steam cracking & distillation.
• Forest Sequestration
Calculated via EPA standard sequestration factors (~22 kg CO2e absorbed per mature tree/year).
