Hypothesis….
“Packaging and Logistics contribute to asustainable society when there is anintegration of product/packaging
developmentand supply chain management in
economic, technical and environmental life cycle perspectives”

Environmentally driven logistics
The possibilities are to be found in three areas
external transports internal material handling systems and packaging systems
The transfer of freight transport systems to better sustainability must actually include actions in all areas•

and even better is to take one step further …..
To minimise carbon foot prints and provide
sustainable goods transport systems
it is necessary to analyse which packaging to use both from an environmental and an economic point of view

They consider product/packaging/logistics…..
One recent study shows that a company that purchased packaging and packaging materials for 100 MSEK influenced in-bound and production
logistics costs to an amount of 1,500 MSEK (actually 15 times the packaging and packaging material cost)
still excluding external environmental impact and costs

And to add to this……
Wrong packaging generates damaged products during transportaffects the level of environmental impact of
the freight transport system. Right packaging
may deliver undamaged products to the customer with high utilization of freight transport volume
aids in the accomplishment of better sustainability for freight transports.

One way or reusable packaging
We will develop, test and implement economic/environmental model/s that make it possible to evaluate the lowest possible foot print using one way alternatively returnable packaging
Together with Volvo Logistics, Schenker and VINNOVA

Including….
The interfaces between returnable and one-way must be developed considering factors involved in making choice-decisions concerning issues like stable development, available alternatives, economy including all logistic costs, economy vs. environment, attitudes etc.

Why models…
There is a recognition that it is only through
presentations of cases and benchmarking it is
possible to aid industry in the transfer of
goods transports towards sustainability

Is it myth or reality?....
Returnable packaging systems generate an increased packaging weight
because the package must be more robust to stand the handling.

While…
One-way packages generate transports from production of
packages to the facility where they are used and
transports of waste packaging material for recycling.

L U N D S U N I V E R S I T E T
The answer is…..
that logistics and packaging must be viewed as a totality
and locking attitudes to chosen systems must be removed
Therefore decision support is essential

Summary
We have evidence That the hypothesis is correct
But we hope to prove it within three years
So, please, use the packaging as a carrier of change - it pays
