About the report

No1

Independent analysis of our green credentials

To ensure that our products are as eco-friendly as possible we commissioned the experts at the University Of East Anglia (UEA) Low Carbon Innovation Centre.

They completed an extensive Carbon footprint assessment on our eco packaging products which we’ve made available to be downloaded.

Overall goal of the report

No 2

The overall goal of this lifecycle assessment is to produce a preliminary estimate of the global warming impact of the maize based packaging filler product.

Also another reason for carrying out this assessment is to help the client (Leavs Ltd) understand which processes may cause relatively greater emissions in order to improve the performance of the final product.

What environmental impact does our packaging have?

Improvements in crop drying fuel efficiency, using non-fossil fuel heat sources or waste heat would significantly benefit the production emissions of Popfil and Leafill.
