SustainPack - Assessment of the Ecological Sustainability of Packaging Systems

For companies engaged with sustainability, knowledge about the environmental effects of their own packaging systems is increasingly becoming a key element to remaining competitive. National and European legislation is making ever-stricter demands regarding packaging sustainability and it is also becoming an economic issue for companies. Due to the diversity of packaging systems and their areas of application, assessing their ecological impacts is a complex challenge that requires in-depth expertise and comprehensive knowledge of relevant methods, standards, and regulations. With the expert tool SustainPack, we determine customer-specific ecological metrics for your packaging systems and advise you on your options for a sustainable packaging strategy. The modular structure of our tool ensures transparency, comparability, and monitoring, as well as a customer- and packaging-specific compilation of scenario parameters for the packaging system.

• Companies wishing to develop an ecological packaging strategy to improve their sustainability or that of their partners.
