Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent righ

This Technical Report defines and describes how to apply Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to packaging and distribution systems. The expression “Life Cycle Analysis“

14、, applied in the EU Packaging Directive, is in this report considered as identical to the concept of “Life Cycle Assessment“ in the EN ISO 14040 standards. This Technical Report has been prepared by the CEN Working Group, CEN/TC 261/SC 4/WG 1/TG 1, which has been considering the aspects of life cycl

15、e assessment specific to packaging, in order to fulfil the “Mandate 200 rev.3 to CEN for Standardisation and a study related to packaging and packaging waste“, requested by the EU Commission. PD CEN/TR 13910:2010CEN/TR 13910:2010 (E) 4 Introduction Packaging is an integral part of modern society pro

16、viding means for protection, presentation, information and distribution of products to industry, trade and consumers. In 1994 the European Parliament and the European Council adopted a Directive on Packaging and Packaging Waste, covering all types of packaging placed on the market in the European Co

17、mmunity and all packaging waste, whether used or released at the industrial, commercial, office, shop, service, household level or at any other level, regardless of the material used. The Directive aims to harmonise national measures concerning the management of packaging and packaging waste in orde

18、r to, on the one hand, prevent any impact thereof on the environment of all Member States, as well as of third countries, or to reduce such impact, thus providing a high level of environmental protection, and, on the other hand, to ensure the functioning of the internal market and to avoid obstacles

19、 to trade, and the distortion and restriction of competition within the European Community. The two objectives are on an equal footing. Article 10 of the Directive states that the European Commission shall promote the preparation of European standards relating to the essential requirements referred

20、to in Annex II of the Directive and, in particular, the preparation of European Standards relating to, among others: criteria and methodologies for life-cycle analysis of packaging. The present Technical Report covers the work of CEN to meet that requirement. PD CEN/TR 13910:2010CEN/TR 13910:2010 (E

This section defines the LCA and packaging specific terms used in this report. The LCA terms are based on definitions give

24、n in EN ISO 14040:2006, and the packaging terms are based on definitions in the European Parliament and the Council Directive on Packaging and Packaging Waste (94/62/EC) and terms and definitions referred to in EN 13193 unless stated otherwise. 3.1 life cycle assessment LCA compilation and evaluatio

30、er the latter is sold as such to the final user or consumer or whether it serves only as a means to replenish the shelves at the point of sale NOTE It can be removed from the product without affecting its characteristics. 3.8 transport packaging tertiary packaging packaging conceived so as to facili

31、tate handling and transport of a number of sales units or grouped packaging in order to prevent physical handling and transport damage NOTE Transport packaging does not include road, rail, ship and air containers. 3.9 used packaging packaging or packaging material remaining after the removal of the

32、product it contained 3.10 distribution system necessary physical arrangements (packing, storage, transport and merchandising) to bring a product from its manufacturing stage, to its final stage of consumption/use 3.11 collection system necessary physical arrangements (sorting, collecting, transport

33、and storage) to bring used packaging from the point of consumption to the point of reuse, recovery or final disposal 3.12 functional unit of packaging quantified performance of a product system of packaging, for use as a reference unit in an LCA study 3.13 carbon footprint overall amount, expressed

34、in terms of CO2equivalents, of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with a product, using LCA methodology NOTE Carbon footprint essentially coincides with the impact category that has generally been referred to under the name “global warming potential“ (GWP) in mo

Both terms are meant as a measure of the potential contribution to the global phenomenon of climate change, which may also include regional side-effects such as storms and local cooling. 3.14 critical review process intended to ensure consistency between a life cycle assessment and

38、 definition of goal and scope, inventory analysis, impact assessment and interpretation of results, as illustrated in Figure 1, below. Figure 1 Phases of an LCA 1 Life cycle assessment framework Goal and scope definition Inventory analysis Impact assessment Interpretation Direct applications: Produc

39、t development and improvement Strategic planning Public policy making Marketing Other PD CEN/TR 13910:2010CEN/TR 13910:2010 (E) 8 Applications LCA can assist in: identifying opportunities to improve the environmental performance of products at various points in their life cycle; informing decision-m

40、akers in industry, government or non-government organizations (e.g. for the purpose of strategic planning, priority setting, product or process design or redesign); the selection of relevant indicators of environmental performance, including measurement techniques; and marketing (e.g. implementing a

41、n ecolabelling scheme, making an environmental claim, or producing an environmental product declaration). It is recommended to address those or other intended applications of a dedicated packaging LCA study in the goal and scope section. 4.2 Goal and scope definition 4.2.1 General The goal and scope

42、 of an LCA study of packaging shall be clearly defined, documented and consistent with the intended application. As illustrated in Figure 1 above, the goal and scope definition should be used as a reference all through the study, and in the reporting of the results. In defining the goal of such an L

43、CA, the following items shall be unambiguously stated: the intended application, the reasons for carrying out the study, the intended audience and whether the results are intended to be used in comparative assertions intended to be disclosed to the public. In addition, the following comments on how

44、packaging is actually used have to be taken into account. Packaging is always used to pack products, resulting in a strong link between the packaging and the packaged product. Packaging is used to facilitate handling and transportation through the logistic chain, to protect the product, prevent prod

45、uct losses and give relevant information. This means that all packaging items, for example closures, labels, communicative devices (e.g. RFID) and printing inks have to be taken into account. Packaging is one component of a distribution system. A change of packaging will therefore often cause change

46、s in this system, resulting in changes in resource consumption, emissions and hence in the environmental impact of the total system. Following the cradle-to-grave definition in EN ISO 14040:2006, LCA studies of packaging should therefore include the distribution system, the wastage of packaging mate

47、rial and products, the relevant collection systems, as well as recovery and/or disposal operations. Primary, secondary and tertiary packaging have a direct influence upon each others function, construction and dimensions. They are all integral parts of the distribution system and should be included

48、in the LCA. In some cases, the production or use of products may be influenced by a change of packaging, which should also be considered in an LCA study. To assess impact categories for packaging in isolation from the packaged product and the distribution system should therefore be avoided as the pa

49、ckaging system is designed to fulfil its functions in relation to the contained product and the physical distribution system. Most packaging only follows the packaged product through a certain part of its life cycle, hence an LCA of the packaging system should include all the steps of the life cycle of the packaging. The life cycle of a packaging system is illustrated in Figure 2, below. PD CEN/TR 13910:2010CEN/TR 13910:2010 (E) 9 Figure 2 Illustration of the life cycle of a packagi
