What is Pack Impact?
Pack Impact is a collaborative initiative developed by the Packaging Cluster and developed by Inedit with the collaboration of several companies along the value chain, including Rieusset, NG Plastics, Alzamora, Font Packaging, Lúcid, Virospack, Enplater, Aimplas, IFLEX and Comexi.
Its main objective is to offer companies in the sector a practical tool to evaluate and improve the environmental impact of their packaging, promoting a transformation towards more sustainable models.
Its creation is based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), a widely recognized methodology for assessing the impact of a product from its conception to the end of its useful life. Thanks to this tool, companies can make more informed and responsible decisions.
Key features of Pack Impact include:
- Customized carbon footprint calculation: It allows each company to assess the specific environmental impact of its products.
- Comparison of alternatives: It helps to identify more sustainable options and to evaluate the impact of changes in design or materials used.
- Value chain assessment: It analyzes the environmental impact at all stages of the packaging life cycle, from raw material extraction to final disposal.
Designed to be accessible and intuitive, this tool is adapted to the needs of companies of any size, offering a scalable and efficient solution for managing sustainability in the sector. Read our publication to learn more about Pack Impact.
A collaborative commitment to sustainability
Pack Impact is an example of how collaboration between companies can generate practical and effective solutions to the environmental challenges of the packaging sector. These types of projects are not only an example of innovation, but also contribute to building an industry that is more committed to sustainability.
Since May 2022, Rieusset has been an active participant in Pack Impact, reaffirming our commitment to innovation and sustainability. As part of the Packaging Cluster, we have worked alongside other companies to develop solutions that enable the packaging industry to move towards more responsible models.
Pack Impact has also received the support of ACCIÓ –through the IRC call (Competitiveness Reinforcement Initiatives)–, and through the AEI (Innovative Business Groups) program of the Ministry of Industry. This support has been crucial to ensure the development and implementation of this project, demonstrating the importance of sustainability and innovation in the institutional agenda. The recognition awarded by Packaging Night 2024 reinforces the relevance of initiatives like this, which not only benefit the participating companies, but also inspire the rest of the sector to move towards a more sustainable model.
