Sustainable Packaging: Working Definition

● Is beneficial, safe & healthy for individuals and communities throughout its life cycle

● Meets market criteria for both performance and cost● Is sourced, manufactured, transported, and recycled using renewable energy

● Optimizes the use of renewable or recycled source materials● Is manufactured using clean production technologies and best practices● Is made from materials healthy throughout the life cycle● Is physically designed to optimize materials and energy● Is effectively recovered and utilized in biological and/or industrial closed loop cycles

Attempts to "Quantify" Sustainable Packaging

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)● Accepted technique to assess environmental impacts associated with all 

stages of a product's life from cradle to grave

● International standards ISO e.g., 14040, ISO 14044 and PAS 2050

o Cradle‐to‐Material (or Gate): kilograms material

o Cradle‐to‐Grave: 1000 liters beverage delivered

Concluding Remarks

Document Title Goes Here 34

Conclusions● The packaging value chain is complex with stakeholders exerting 

their influence to various degrees● Current emphasis for sustainable packaging presents several 

opportunities to deliver value for every stakeholder in the value chaino Price / Performance ratio is difficult to compromise!o No panoptic solutions exist!o Opportunities exist beyond just “bio‐based” packaging

● Lightweighting and the use of rPET, sustained by increased recycling rate, are effective techniques for reducing environmental impacts across the boardo Availability of food‐contact grade rPET remains an issue

● Efforts across value chain have delivered several successes that serve as an inspiration
