AIP to Partner with Packaging Cockpit: One system for the entire supply chain

With the Packaging Cockpit as an on-line tool, you can calculate various key figures of your packaging(s), such as country-specific recyclability (depending on the target market) or the carbon footprint and other impact categories of a life cycle assessment. In addition, you can manage the data collected in the tool yourself and also share it with selected customers or suppliers. Thanks to the well-founded and meaningful results of the Packaging Cockpit, it is already possible for you to start sustainable packaging development and optimisation today. Through broad application of the Packaging Cockpit, the assessment of the recyclability of packaging in Europe can be standardised and also made comparable.
