Life Cycle Assessment

The environmental impact for materials should be based on a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), which provides a methodology for considering each stage of a product's life from extraction of the raw materials, through manufacture and construction to use and disposal.

At Innovia Films, a 'cradle to gate' Life Cycle Assessment of NatureFlex™ has been carried out in conjunction with  an external consultant in order to evaluate the impact of each stage of the process and to highlight the key areas which have the biggest environmental impact.  Now these areas have been identified, suitable alternative technologies or processes can be considered and evaluated.  'Cradle to gate' refers to the scope of the LCA, which in this case encompasses raw material manufacture to finished film.
