## 3 Results and Discussion
Next was soil/cypermethrin (\(4.22\times 10^{-12}\) species.yr), water/bromine (\(3.21\times 10^{-12}\) species.yr), air/mercury (\(2.76\times 10^{-12}\) species.yr), air/selenium (\(2.76\times 10^{-12}\) species.yr), air/acrolein (\(2.69\times 10^{-12}\) species.yr), air/nickel (\(2.01\times 10^{-12}\) species.yr), air/bromine (\(1.53\times 10^{-12}\) species.yr), and other lower score substances. Substances with less than 1% contribution were grouped as the remaining substances with an accumulated score of \(3.14\times 10^{-12}\) species.yr. Substances emitted during the life cycle of products might generate damages on the soil [55], and hence distressing the ecosystem. The amount of substances emitted from the 1 kg SPF-reinforced sago starch bioccomposite takeout food containers product system were at a low level, i.e., lower than 0.00001 DALY for the human health damage category and below 0.000001 species.yr for the ecosystem. This takeout food container is fully made from biobased raw materials from local sources in Malaysia, i.e., sago starch and abundance of insignificant utilization of SPF [27], could have produced low impacts to the environment. This is supported with the theory that designing a more sustainable biobased product can be performed at several levels, and among them are at the raw material level with the sourcing of local biomass feedstocks [6]. Even though all damage assessment results obtained were at a remarkably low level, there were high uncertainties in the results obtained, which is acknowledged as the weakness of the end-point approach. There were many possible sources to create these uncertainties in this environmental impact study, and according to [PERSON] et al. [56], they could be from model and baseline data errors, input data, and assumptions. The authors realized that for future enhanced works, the product system being studied could include more detailed processes to provide valuable contributions to the LCA analysis. Accurate and objective predictions would reduce these deficiencies, but it is an almost unattainable goal [56]. Nevertheless, the LCI data gathered in this study could be more comprehensive with the use of actual data on technologies and extensive materials utilized and energy consumption from relevant sago starch mill in Mukah Sarawak, SPF mill in Kampung Kuala Jempol, bioccomposite manufacturer in Shah Alam, and composting facility and landfills available in Malaysia. As far as the results are concerned, energy generated from fossil fuels was found to contribute to the largest damage. Thus, an alternative renewable resource for electricity generation would be a great environmentally friendly option to ensure lower impacts caused during the product's total life cycle [21]. Furthermore, a comparable LCA assessment study of the fully biobased takeout food container with an identical container made from conventional materials would also provide a better understanding of the performance concerning the environment, as carried out by [PERSON] et al. [35] and [PERSON] et al. [7]. A specified study on the end-of-life stage of the green biocomposite container, i.e., composting and landfilling with several options could also produce a different result of the impacts. Larger-scale implementation of composting biobased waste would create a more significant portion of waste diverted from landfills and could generate revenue for businesses [28]. Moreover, the development of composting facilities; along with production and commercial use of under-utilized SPF in rural areas like Kampung Kuala Jempol, Negeri Sembilan, and Mukah Sarawak will create jobs and improve the locals' economy.
