With the increasing usage of polymer in modern products, polymer waste has become an important source of the waste stream with huge environmental impact (EI). Many countries have launched laws that mandate producers to be responsible for 3R (reuse, recycle and reduce) of End-of-Life (E-O-F) products, in which polymers account for a large proportion. This situation requires that not only performance and cost, but also environmental impact must be taken into consideration when evaluate polymer materials. This research manages to build up a framework to evaluate the Greenness of polymers at manufacture, usage, 3R and disposal stages.
