Life cycle assessment of pulp-moulded and thermoformed oil palm fibre-based food tray by Campbell Skinner, M. Jawaid, Balbir Singh, Amir Alzahri, Rob Elias, Hassan Fouad, M. Hashem

“…Results for the pulp-moulded format were less clear due to the small-scale of operation during pretreatment. Results for the pre-treatment step are therefore high as presented, however analysis suggests that where efficiencies-of-scale can achieve a 57% reduction in emissions associated with this step, then pulp-moulded punnets will have lower GWPs than the thermoformed samples. …”
