PACK EXPO: Dordan to perform COMPASS LCA demonstrations
- Filed in:
- Metrics, standards, and LCA
Dordan Manufacturing will be performing live COMPASS® LCA demonstrations at Pack Expo 2011, Booth #6007. COMPASS is a life cycle assessment-based, comparative packaging software created by the Sustainable Packaging Coalition. The software assesses packages on resource consumption, emissions, and attributes such as material health, recycled or virgin content, sourcing, and solid waste.
Dordan began its subscription to COMPASS in 2010 to inform its packaging engineers of the environmental repercussions of different package designs early in the developmental process. By combining life-cycle impact data from raw material sourcing/extraction, packaging material manufacture, conversion, distribution, and end of life, COMPASS provides Dordan engineers with the scientific data to make informed package design decisions.
Dordan offers complimentary COMPASS LCA case studies to clients to demonstrate how different packaging materials and design attributes inform a package’s overall sustainability.
