PackCD

Assess the circularity of your packaging before production

Reduce the environmental footprint of your packaging in the design phase

TheCircularLab offers companies that are part of Ecoembes an innovative tool to predict and modify the environmental impact of their packaging before production.

PackCD focuses on the key point of circularity

80% of a package’s environmental impact is determined during the design phase.

Gain in-depth insight into your packaging's sustainability before production

The smaller the environmental footprint of its waste, the more sustainable the packaging

PackCD provides technical and objective information about the packaging’s real performance at the end of its life cycle, from the moment a citizen disposes of the package in the container to its transformation into a new raw material and reintroduction into the production process.

Step with confidence into the circular economy

Assess your packaging’s sustainability before production

  • Analyse your packaging’s life cycle
  • Receive technical improvement recommendations
  • Obtain a classification label

Easily achieve a sustainable and circular design

Make the best decisions with PackCD.

1. Assess all aspects of the packaging that impact the environment

Enter your packaging’s data sheet specifications into the available fields in the tool.

2. Receive your results

The sustainability analysis results are provided through 4 independent but complementary categories.

Functionality

It assesses the adequacy of the packaging’s benefits relative to the product’s requirements.

Environmental impact

Using a life cycle analysis (LCA), the packaging’s future environmental impact is analysed, from the extraction or reuse of raw materials for its production to their recycling and re-entry into the process.

Treatment

It assesses the packaging’s performance during waste management, from the time it is disposed of in the bin until it leaves the sorting plant.

Second life

It assesses the packaging’s degree of suitability for recycling according to Spain’s recycling standards, as well as its ability to re-enter the market as a new secondary raw material.

3. PackCD generates a label with the packaging classification, improvement recommendations, and critical points

After analysing the results, PackCD provides a label with the packaging classification and offers immediate improvement recommendations.

 

The tool highlights the critical points for your design team to address in order to improve the packaging.
