End-of-life of starch-polyvinyl alcohol biopolymers

► LCA was used to model diverse disposal routes for starch-PVOH biopolymer. ► Complete & transparent LCA inventory for landfill, AD, industrial and home composting. ► Ranking of biological treatments for biopolymers depends on the chemical compositions. ► Overall, AD and home composting represent optimum choices for starch-PVOH biopolymers. ► Sensitivity analysis carried out on key parameters modeled in end-of-life scenarios.
