Overall Goal: assess the socio-economic dimensions of bio-based products, throughthe Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) methodology, in order to make the assessmentcomparable with the analysis carried out by the WPs involved with Environmental LifeCycle Assessment (E-LCA) and Life Cycle Costing (LCC)
Four Main Steps:▪ selecting socio-economic items relevant to bio-based products (impact categories,
subcategories and related indicators) in relation to different stakeholder categories
▪ developing a tailored S-LCA scheme to measure the most significant socio-economic
impact of bio-based products
▪ testing our S-LCA scheme on a case-study
▪ identifying key socio-economic priorities for sustainable bio-based products end-of-life
management

3rd Step Activities
▪ Applying our methodology to a selected bio-based product: PLA packaging film, one of
the STAR-ProBio case studies
▪ Developing a questionnaire designed to include different life cycle stages and different
stakeholder categories

PLA packaging film

4th Step Activities
▪ Deepening the analysis of the validated subcategories and indicators pertaining to the
end-of-life (EoL) stage
▪ Developing an asset-based model focused on EoL treatment of bio-based products,
involving different stakeholder categories (i.e. academics, trade associations, policy
makers and waste management companies) from geographically and culturally distant
European regions (e.g. Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain and Sweden)
▪ Testing the model on PLA packaging film

4th Step Outcome
key community priorities for sustainable EoL management of PLA-based packaging film
Application of socio-economic indicator for EoL strategy (SEI-EoL)
