Public closing event for the UBA’s study “Minimum requirements for the development of life cycle assessments for beverage packaging”
After more than three years of processing, the results of the study were presented to the expert audience on December 8th, 2014 in Dessau. The new minimum requirements and quality criteria are directed to the development of beverage life cycle assessments that will be submitted to the German Fereral Environment Agency (UBA) in the future. The criteria were developed by IFEU, GVM and Integrahl. The part from GVM dealt primarily with the topics of beverage markets, selection of packaging and reference systems, weights of packaging materials, number of trips/ rotations and distribution.
