The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) is inviting all of industry to attend a free webinar with Trayak, to discuss life cycle assessment (LCA) tools and measurement on 18 October at 10.00 am (AEDT).

The webinar will discuss sustainability systems EcoImpact-Compass end-of-life data and Score software, and help attendees discover why life cycle assessment can become an invaluable tool for sustainability practices.

Trayak is powered by Compass, a tool that was developed by the Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC). It was created in a collaborative process with packaging experts, stakeholders, life cycle assessment professionals and academia.

During the webinar, the Trayak team will help guide attendees to better understand how to incorporate additional attributes, using Score, to track operational requirements alongside sustainability attributes including damage rate, circularity, and packaging to product weight.

Register to attend here.
