25 Life Cycle Assessment www.thg.eco www.mycarbon.co.uk adam.lowe3@thehutgroup.com info@mycarbon.co.uk Figure 7: Current LFBB packaging emissions by component 6.2. Conclusions & Recommendations The results from the LCA are described in Section 5. The conclusions that can be drawn from this data are as follows: - The total cradle-to-grave emissions of the previous LFBB packaging are 0.59 kg CO2e. - The total cradle-to-grave emissions of the current LFBB packaging are 0.16 kg CO2e. - The main source of emissions for the previous LFBB packaging is material acquisition (0.39 kg CO2e or 70.39%). - The main source of emissions for the current LFBB packaging is material acquisition/production (0.10 kg CO2e or 64.92%). - There is a 72.48% decrease in emissions from the previous LFBB packaging compared to the to the current packaging. - There is a 61.40% decrease in paper/cardboard weight from the previous LFBB packaging compared to the to the current packaging. - THG could reduce the material acquisition and production emissions of the tissue paper in the current packaging by obtaining supplier specific data instead of using an industry average. This could also be achieved by sourcing the material from the UK instead of China. - THG could reduce the emissions of the outer box in the current packaging by sourcing 100% recycled paper/cardboard instead of the 46.5% currently used. Outer box 77.36% Tissue paper 22.64% Current LFBB packaging breakdown by component
