New study finds polyethylene (PE) packaging can outperform alternatives on life cycle GWP
A new Europe-focused study finds that polyethylene (PE) packaging has lower life cycle global warming potential (GWP) than paper, metals, and glass in most applications. The research highlights the benefits of PE-based packaging in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and packaging weight.
