The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) have joined forces with Empauer, a leader in sustainability software solutions, to deliver a webinar aimed at assisting SMEs to measure their packaging circularity through lifecycle assessments (LCA).

The LCA Decision Package for SMEs, which will be officially unveiled in the webinar, will provide affordable and customised lifecycle assessments for SMEs to ensure that they are making science-based decisions when selecting packaging materials.

To be held on 6 March at 10am AEDT, the webinar provides a comprehensive introduction to the LCA Decision Package for SMEs. AIP and Empauer will delve into its functionality, ways to actively participate, and most importantly, how it can bring substantial benefits to packaging designs.

The LCA Decision Package for SMEs webinar will provide the following insights:

  • Stay Compliant: with the Federal government announcing that there will be mandatory packaging design standards coming in the not-too-distant-future, the launch of this program will enable all sized businesses to make the right decisions to measure their packaging circularity through LCA.
  • Seize LCA program opportunities: learn how being a part of this initiative can benefit your organisation – from cost savings to reduced environmental impacts. Understand how you can take advantage of this program to drive sustainability and profitability.
  • Expert insights: hear from Catherine Rae, an expert from Empauer, who will provide valuable insights into the environmental footprint of packaging materials. Rae’s expertise will give a practical understanding of the essential elements of an LCA, and the data required for conducting a successful LCA assessment.
