Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
The Metal Packaging Europe Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies identify the average environmental impacts and benefits of metal packaging manufactured in Europe throughout its life cycle.
The reports showcase the industry’s contribution to sustainable development, which is perfectly aligned with circular economy thinking.
The LCA covers the entire metal packaging portfolio, including beverage cans, food cans, aerosols, general line cans, closures and specialities. To allow stakeholders to incorporate the LCA of metal packaging into their product LCA, the Life Cycle Inventories (LCIs) of metal packaging are available for the life cycle (cradle-to-gate + End-of-Life).
The Metal Packaging Europe Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies are ISO 14040/44 compliant, and were conducted and peer-reviewed by independent international consultancy firms specialised in LCA practices
