New features for e-DEA packaging assessment software 23-Jan-2012

French packaging company Albéa has contributed to the development of new features for e-DEA software that will enable companies to conduct a life cycle assessment (LCA) of the packaging they have designed, integrating complementary environmental indicators such as the packaging-product weight ratio, percentage of recycled material and the potential of biosourced material.

E-DEA software was developed by EVEA Conseil and GreenDeltaTC to enable manufacturers to environmentally assess their products.

Jean-Claude Jammet, director of innovation & development at Albéa, commented: “LCA has become an indispensable tool in many of our business lines – from technical design to selling. It provides decisive information used in choosing the final packaging.”
