Abstract
The present chapter discusses the application of the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology to biomass-derived polymers. The chapter first introduces the concept of biopolymers and the main advantages of shifting from traditional petroleum-derived polymers to biomass-derived polymers. LCA methodology is then described as a useful tool to evaluate the environmental impacts of products and processes. Some case studies are reported on LCA of biopolymers used in several sectors with a major focus on the building sector.
