“…One of the first research using LCA concerned the assessment of direct and indirect emissions of waste generated during production processes (Ayres, 1995). The method development in subsequent years meant that it was used in many fields (Accorsi, Versari and Manzini, 2015;Saleh, 2016). As a result of the need to integrate the life cycle assessment with social aspects, a social life cycle assessment (SLCA) was developed in the first decade of the 21st century.…”

In the paper was presented a comparative analysis of the impact on the environment of the life cycle assessment of boxes made of polypropylene, re-HDPE and cardboard, which are used to transport of dessert apples. For this purpose, the SimaPro 7.1 computer program and attached databases were used. The calculations were made for 48 trading circulations. The obtained results indicate that the biggest negative impact on the environment among the analysed packaging was caused by cardboard boxes. Also packaging from recycled material (re-HDPE) is less friendly to environment than boxes made from new polypropylene. The estimated environmental impact of polypropylene boxes was 4.42 Pt (eco-indicator point), for re-HDPE and cardboard packaging it was 7.5 and 19.7% higher, respectively. The most important factor for the differences between the boxes was the durability of the packaging and the eventual need for multiple repeats of production phase, which include the acquisition of raw materials and processes related to the manufacturing of products.

“…The former mainly uses includes questionnaire or interview inquiry [1,2], and the latter mainly includes Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) or Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) [3]. LCA is playing an important role in quantitative assessing the environmental performance of the product packaging system [4][5][6][7][8]. Riccardo Accorsi et al [4] used the LCA methodology to determine the environmental impacts categories on the bottled EVOO life cycle, and focused attention on packaging decisions.…”

“…Riccardo Accorsi et al [4] used the LCA methodology to determine the environmental impacts categories on the bottled EVOO life cycle, and focused attention on packaging decisions. Yahya Saleh [5] used life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology to assess and compare the potential environmental impacts of some packaging materials used in beverage packages, such as glass, aluminum (Al), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Zhang Hai et al [6] used the LCA methodology to compare the environmental life cycle impacts on three packaging films incorporating different active agents, such as silver nanoparticles, titanium dioxide nanoparticles, and a mixture of both.…”

This study presents a method that is based on the three-stage network Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to evaluate the sustainability of packaging systems for a product. This method facilitates the selection of better product packaging alternatives from an environmentally friendly point of view and it comprises the following four steps: (i) the definition of packaging sustainability indicator (PSI) based on environmental efficiency and impact indicator of three-stage in packaging life cycle, (ii) modeling a three-stage Network DEA model for a packaging system, (iii) computing PSI based on the DEA model, and (iv) result analysis. An empirical test has been progressed to prove the feasibility of the proposed method by selecting the three types of milk packaging systems. The results indicated that the PSI value of PrePack is the maximum and the Tetra Pak minimum. According to these results, the study provides an environmentally friendly evaluation method for product packaging systems, which is more intuitive than Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

“…Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a scientific methodology that has been successfully applied to quantify the potential environmental impacts of beverage packaging in general (van der Harst et al, 2016;Saleh, 2016;Simon et al, 2015), and the ABC in specific (Stichling and Nguyen-Ngoc, 2009;. have conducted a scenario-based LCA on the ABC in the UK market with varying recycled content and renewable energy consumption.…”
