Fig. 3: Cradle-to-factory gate GWP of 1 ton staple fiber based on the “cut-off” approach. The error bar shows the results corrected by the “waste valuation” method. The carbon sequestration of bio-based fibers has been taken into account. For “Chem. Recycling (DMT route, POY)”, only the “cut-off” approach was applied. (Source: L. Shen et al.: Open-loop recycling: A LCA case study of PET bottle-to- fibre recycling, Resources, Conservation and Recycling 55 (2010) 34-52)
