REUSABLE packaging and performance pooling solutions provider Tosca has launched a new life cycle analysis (LCA) tool to help companies transporting bulk liquids reduce their environmental footprint.
The idea is that the tool will help users select the most sustainable type of liquid Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC). The tool uses the Compass platform developed by Trayak and is endorsed by the Sustainable Packaging Coalition. It provides data on the ‘cradle-to-grave’ impact of switching to Tosca’s foldable IBCs from existing solutions.
Karin Witton, global director of sustainability at Tosca, said, “We are delighted to introduce this new tool to companies transporting bulk liquids. It will empower them to make informed decisions about the environmental impact of their packaging choices.”
Tosca said the LCA data provided by the tool illustrates how the company’s reusable, foldable IBCs ‘outperform’ competing load carriers on the market in terms of environmental impact over short, intermediate, and long distances. The containers included in the analysis include Schütz containers, stainless steel containers, steel drums, and nestable plastic drums.
