T/ACEF 060-2023 Guidelines for Accounting the Emission Reduction Amount of Plastic Packaging Alternatives
Basic Information
Scope
Scope: This document establishes the calculation scope and accounting methods for the carbon emissions generated during the production, processing, recycling, and disposal of plastic packaging materials, including alternative materials and recycled plastics, and the carbon reduction of virgin plastic packaging materials. This document applies to the use of plastic packaging alternatives and recycled plastic products that replace conventional petroleum-based plastics in production and sales. These products include any products made from conventional plastics. These plastic packaging alternatives or recycled products are entirely or partially made from alternative or recycled materials, and are used to produce products with the same purpose and quality as traditional plastic packaging, or products with the same service level. Production of the following conventional plastic polymer materials for packaging products: a) Polypropylene (PP) b) Polystyrene (PS) c) Polyethylene (PE): including high-density (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) d) Polycarbonate (PC) e) Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) f) Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), etc. Alternative or recycled materials may include plastics, metals, paper, biomass (straw, bamboo), degradable plastics, mixtures of alternative materials, recycled plastics, and conventional plastic polymers, etc. This document is applicable to guiding domestic product enterprises, plastic recycling enterprises, and packaging material enterprises in calculating greenhouse gas emission reductions when using conventional plastics and packaging alternatives or recycled materials, providing a reference. It also plays a positive guiding role in the carbon emission reduction of enterprises' supply chains and products. Other carbon emission reduction methods for packaging material enterprises can also refer to this document. Main technical content: Assessment requirements and methods for the carbon emi
