Green Solutions for Temperature Controlled Shipping
Room: 1E13 ~ 2:15PM - 3:45PM (Tuesday, April 20, 2010)
| When considering the choices of temperature controlled packaging in terms of sustainability, companies need to know how to evaluate packaging materials. Using expanded polystyrene (EPS) packaging as an example, this presentation will demonstrate how life cycle information can play a key role in evaluating environmental impacts and determining sustainability. An EPS Product Environmental Declaration will be reviewed, showing how package performance, environmental impacts over the life of the product and end-of-life options can be used to evaluate packaging.
In addition the presentation will cover ways a company can increase the sustainability factor of the packaging materials they use since end-of-life disposal options can lessen environmental impacts. Different solutions for difficult-to-recycle materials will be discussed. Learn how one company actively supports sustainable packaging through a detailed description of the logistics and practicalities of recycling EPS temperature controlled packaging.
