New LCIA method request - MarILCA

Background paper - supplemental table 8 includes the characterization factors. I believe flows would need to be added to FEDEFL to accurately use this method.

Characterization factors

I moved this to a discussion since there is a fairly new style of method that we should discuss further.

What's your sense as to the kinds of flows this applies to? Would LCI data need to already account for microplastic emissions?

Yes, Jake and I spoke to someone at NREL who is developing data that includes microplastic emissions. Applies to plastic flows (EPS, HDPE, LDPE, PET, etc.). I'm unsure if these should be considered elementary or technosphere flows. I can read through the paper and learn more.
