BillerudKorsnäs introduces LCA tool for packaging
Swedish renewable packaging material provider BillerudKorsnäs has developed a new LCA tool that evaluates the environmental impact of different packaging solutions. The company says this tool could help brands and retailers reduce the climate impact of their packaging by up to 50 percent.
“There is a knowledge gap in the market,” says Johan Tegell, business development director at BillerudKorsnäs. “Companies don’t realize how much they can reduce their carbon and fresh water footprint from packaging. It’s about optimizing the packaging to the supply chain and choosing suitable raw materials. Normally just small adjustments are needed to get great environmental savings. This was the reason why we introduced a life cycle assessment tool, to provide our customers with environmental insights about their packaging.”
