Based on the process-based and EIO
data: impacts of paper bags.
Global Warming (Green House Gases): The amount of
greenhouse gasses produced by burning is 108 tons
Air Pollution (Common): The amount of air pollution
commonly produced by is 128 ppm
Air Pollution (Toxic): The amount of air pollution toxic
produced is 108 ppm
Water Pollution (Common): The amount of common water
pollution produced is 52 ppm
Water Pollution (Toxic): The amount of toxic water
pollution produced is 253 ppm
Habitat Alteration (Water Use): The amount of water used
for production is 30 gallons
Habitat Alteration (Land Use): The amount of land used
for production is 89 hectors
Based on the process-based and EIO data: impacts of
plastic bags.
Global Warming (Green House Gases): The amount of
greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere is 106
tons
Air Pollution (Common): The amount of common air
pollution produced is 128 ppm
Air Pollution (Toxic): The amount of toxic air pollution
produced is 111 ppm
Water Pollution (Common): The amount of common water
pollution produced is 52 ppm
Watter Pollution (Toxic): The amount of toxic water
pollution produced is 253 ppm
Habitat Alternation (Water Use): The amount of water
used for production is 29 gallons
Habitat Alternation (Land Use): The amount of land used

1. Where in the LCA are the greatest environmental
impacts of paper bags? BE SPECIFIC! Name the lifecycle
stages/impact area(s) and give data (numbers and
units) for the size of the
impacts.
