Hotspot Analysis Hotspot analysis assesses the main sources of emissions and provides suggestions for reduction activities or additional research. 6.1.1. Previous LFBB packaging emissions hotspot analysis The emissions of the LFBB previous packaging are listed by component in Table 8. The previous LFBB packaging consists of a corrugated outer box and a rigid inner box (filled with tissue paper, shredded paper, and a sticker). The emissions associated with the tissue paper, shredded paper and sticker are included in the inner box emissions, as these are all purchased from the same supplier as a single unit. Figure 6 is a pie chart of the emissions for the LFBB packaging by component. The inner box is responsible for 77.07% (0.45 kg CO2e) of total product emissions, whilst the outer box is responsible for the remaining 22.93% (0.13 kg CO2e). The inner box has a total weight of 0.18 kg (68.2% of packaging total), whilst the outer box has a total weight of 0.084 kg (31.8% of packaging total). Given that this packaging is no longer in use, no further reccommendations on how to reduce these emissions have been made.
