  • 1.  LCA for Sustainable Packaging - Where Can I Find More Info?

    Posted 06-14-2022 06:02 PM
    Hello Fellow CPPs, this question keeps coming up and people are starting to wondering just how sustainable some of the packaging options out there are. For example how sustainable is Wooden closure vs. Plastic? Aluminum vs. Glass? When you take into account other variables that impact the environment (emissions from freight, production, etc.) Not to mention environmental impact from harvesting and mining. Is there any resource I can turn to that can help support some of the sustainability claims?

    Alex,

    Wal-Mart sustainability hub has a free calculator that allows you to look at all factors of sustainability: https://walmartsustainabilityhub.emissionscalculators.walmart.com/main/home/GSF/eng/energy
