Summary of all emissions MyCarbon, on-behalf of The Hut Group, has performed a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the cradle to grave emissions for the previous and current packaging solutions for the Look Fantastic Beauty Box (LFBB). These results are listed in Table 5. The total weight of paper/cardboard used in the previous packaging solution is 0.26 kg. The total weight of paper/cardboard used in the current packaging solution is 0.10 kg, representing a 61.40% decrease in weight. The total emissions of the previous LFBB packaging are 0.59 kg CO2e. The total emissions of the current LFBB packaging are 0.16 kg CO2e. This represents a 72.48% decrease in total emissions between the previous and current packaging solutions. The results include a 5% risk factor to account for uncertainties arising from data quality.
