Hartmann has conducted a life cycle assessment (LCA) of 1 kg European Grey Moulded Fibre in cooperation with EMFA – the European Moulded Fibre Association.
The results show a clear environmental benefit for moulded fibre packaging:
The life cycle assessment was carried out in accordance with the international standards EN ISO 14040 and EN ISO 14044, and includes a critical external review in line with standard requirements. This cradle-to-grave analysis of moulded fibre includes all significant processes from raw material usage to transport and from product use to recycling and energy recovery.
Moulded fibre egg packaging can be reused, recycled, composted or incinerated with energy recovery, all of which are sustainable ways of disposal available in most communities.
