Packaging Life Cycle Assessment Services
Why LCA matters for your packaging?
LCA services gives you an understanding of the environmental impacts in specific markets of a fiber-based product compared to other existing packaging examples.
As part of the LCA services portfolio, we provide carbon footprint factsheets and tailored LCA packaging data for our board materials.
In addition, for customers who want to go beyond board material, we can perform LCA packaging screenings and a full ISO compliant LCA study for the final package.
What is included in the LCA screening?
Our LCA screening gives an initial understanding of the environmental impacts of packaging. The screening includes:
- Comparison between selected packaging options (of any material)
- Scope 3 implications
What is included in the full life cycle assessment?
Our full LCA gives an in-depth study into a wide variety of environmental impacts according to ISO standards. The full LCA includes:
