LCA on reuse of packaging in the Nordics – A case of comparing reusable alternatives to current disposable packaging

Nordic Council of Ministers (2024)

In an effort to facilitate a shift towards greater sustainability in the Nordics, this study provides an in-depth analysis of the environmental impacts associated with different types of packaging. Emphasis is placed on reusable packaging, investigating its lifecycle impacts from production to disposal and contrasting it with conventional, single-use packaging. The packaging solutions under investigation cover takeaway containers and ecommerce packaging. In the takeaway sector, these are one reusable and one single-use. In the e-commerce sector, these are one reusable and returnable packaging, as well as two single-use variants made from LDPE film and paper, respectively.

Life Cycle Assessment: CLUBZERØ Food and Beverage Containers

Giraffe Innovation, CLUBZERØ (2024)

This report, carried out by Giraffe Innovation Ltd, presents the results of an environmental assessment of CLUBZERØ 12oz cup and CLUBZERØ 800ml container using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology. The analysis shows the output modelling of the environmental impacts of the cup and lid materials and the food container and lid materials, manufacturing, supply chain, washing energy and detergent use and end of life disposal. The results are compared to indicative paper, polystyrene (EPS) and ceramic cups for the cup report and compared to disposable polypropylene, aluminium, bagasse and EPS containers and reuse of ceramic plates for the food container report.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
