- Greenhouse gases- Energy - Water- Material Effectiveness
World Business Council for Sustainable Development
SABIC will invest more than 100 million EURO in the upgrade of its naphta cracker in Geleen, the Netherlands, in order to significantly improve the energy- consumption of the plant and to reduce CO2 emissions (to be realized before the end of
2013).

SABIC LCA APPROACH
Dedicated team of LCA experts
ISO 14044 Method
Impact on “fossil depletion”, “climate change”, “acidification”, “eutrophication” etc….
Analysis on “Cradle to Gate” and “Cradle to Grave” principle
End of Life Principles – Plastics Europe EU 2010 data for packaging • Landfill- 35%• Incineration- 33%• Recycling- 32%
Reproducibility: an independent practitioner should be able to follow the approach and arrive at the same results
Environmental burden associated with infrastructure requirements are excluded

WHAT ABOUT BIOPLASTICS?
Decisions in favor of any material orproduct must be based on sound scientific criteria and a life cycle approach
“Bio-based solutions will be an important part of the chemical industry’s
future”
Only those bio-based solutions must be developed that do not compromise food
production or cause more problems than they solve, such as habitat destruction
or large indirect CO2 emissions”
Mr. Al Mady, CEO SABIC
