The Corrugated Packaging Alliance (CPA) recently released a new life cycle assessment (LCA) of packaging for eight common produce commodities, which shows neither corrugated containers nor reusable plastic containers (RPC) have an advantage in all environmental impact categories. This finding is a result of an exhaustive and scientific, third-party peer-reviewed study conducted by Quantis, a leading independent sustainability consulting group.
A life cycle assessment is a standardized, scientific tool to assess environmental impacts associated with all stages of a product’s life, from cradle to grave or raw material extraction to end-of-life. LCAs are used to inform public policy; assist in research and development; and aid in decisions surrounding waste management, biofuels and renewable energy.
