An upgraded version of a computer programme that measures the carbon footprint of packaging has been released.

The Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC) said its new system, which evaluates the effect of packaging on resource consumption, emissions, and packing attributes, offers significant improvements.

Among a host of new options, the new 2.0 version creates the ability to model the impacts associated with the transport of packaging/product from filling, collating and shipping to the distribution centre. Users can also create multi-pack scenarios, such as a six-pack of drinks, and are able to compare single use packages to refill alternatives, said the SPC.
