Packaging Ecodesign Diagnosis

With ongoing concern over our impact on the environment, packaging has become a major issue in the need for a sustainable future. Consumers, businesses and policy makers are looking for improved packaging design that takes into account environmental impacts. Ecodesign packaging diagnosis from SGS is a fast track to evaluating the eco-friendliness of the design of your packaging.

We evaluate the design of your packaging based on the following criteria:

• Product packaging system
• Dimensional efficiency
• Information and claims
• Consumption and waste
• Recycling
• Eco-participation

Based on the official standards and guidelines, it identifies the strengths and weaknesses of the packaging to suggest ways of improvement.

As a long-standing supplier and developer of sustainable solutions we have come up with another independent and complementary tool: PEAR (Packaging Eco Assessment Rating). If you need a quick environmental assessment of your packaging without going through the expense and time needed for a full life cycle analysis, we can provide a PEAR study.

Contact SGS to find out how our ecodesign tools can help you fulfill your environmental obligations and comply with regulations in a cost effective way.
