Optimize Packages for Sustainability
Trayak provides data-driven insight into the environmental impact of package designs with Life cycle assessment. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a cradle-to-grave analysis that calculates environmental impacts associated with all stages of a package’s life cycle including:
- Material sourcing
- Manufacturing
- Conversion
- Distribution
- End-of-life
Life Cycle Approach
The life cycle approach quantifies the environmental impact of your package design. Our software allows you to evaluate design alternatives early and rapidly to find the solution that best meets your packaging requirements. This can help streamline the design process, avoid costly mistakes, and even consumer backlash. Life cycle assessment can be used to:
- Understand impacts for key environmental metrics such as greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel consumption.
- Identify environmental “hotspots”, implement simple to complex sustainability strategies including refillable or reusable packaging, and reduce your overall environmental impact.
- Baseline your product or packaging portfolio, determine meaningful sustainability goals, and report progress to stakeholders.
