2 Life Cycle Assessment www.thg.eco www.mycarbon.co.uk adam.lowe3@thehutgroup.com info@mycarbon.co.uk The total weight of paper/cardboard used in the previous packaging solution is 0.26kg. The total weight of paper/cardboard used in the current packaging solution is 0.10kg, representing a 61.40% decrease in weight. The total emissions of the previous LFBB packaging is 0.59 kg CO2e. The total emissions of the current LFBB packaging is 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. Figure and Figure 2 are pie charts of the previous and current packaging solutions emissions by lifecycle stage. The key source of emissions for both solutions are associated with the material acquisition phase, accounting for 70.39% in the previous solution. Due to methodological limitations, the material acquisition and production phases of the current solution could not be separated, however, combined these account for 80.29% of total packaging emissions.
