How does Life Cycle Assessment support you?
Conducting a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of packaging is essential for identifying environmental impacts and making sustainable decisions while avoiding negative consequences.
LCAs enhances transparency and credibility, demonstrating your organization’s commitment to sustainability. It also ensures compliance and promotes continuous improvement in sustainable packaging practices.
A life-cycle assessment for packaging supports you by:
- Identifying Environmental Hotspots: Pinpoints stages with the highest environmental impact.
- Supporting Sustainable Decision-Making: Provides data for informed choices on design and materials.
- Enhancing Transparency and Credibility: Offers a scientific method to measure and report impacts.
- Avoiding Unintended Consequences: Prevents changes that might have negative impacts elsewhere.
- Promoting Continuous Improvement: Tracks progress and identifies new opportunities for sustainability.
The Life Cycle Assessment Journey.
Find out more about how Life Cycle Assessments can positively impact your organization and ensure right first time, sustainable packaging.
We define the purpose of your LCA assessment, specifying which environmental impacts and life cycle stages will be considered.
Here, we gather data on all inputs and outputs associated with each stage of the product and packaging’s life cycle. This involves collecting information on raw materials, energy consumption, emissions, waste generation and transportation.
We evaluate the potential environmental impacts identified in the life cycle inventory. The Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) considers factors such as global warming potential, acidification, eutrophication, ozone depletion and any other relevant impact categories.
We analyze and interpret the results of the assessment, considering the uncertainties and limitations of the study. This step helps in drawing conclusions and making recommendations for improvement.
