PIQET – Driving Fully Optimized Packaging Systems

Enabling sustainable packaging decisions

• Web-accessed

• Streamlined life cycle assessment (LCA) tool

• Enables rapid assessment of the environmental impact of packaging systems

What is PIQET?

Packaging Impact Quick Evaluation Tool

Enabling sustainable packaging decisions

• All packaging on a pallet of

packed product

• Design parameters at each

packaging level can be modelled

independently

• PIQET’s systematic improvements

enable increasing customization &

specificity

What Does PIQET Model?

PIQET – Outputs

PIQET’s main output maps up to 8 LCA environmental indicators

Packaging formats with the smallest area are those with the least

environmental impact

The companion Data Collection Template allows non-users

close to packaging system data to share it easily to an

organization’s PIQET users. This enables fast analysis

and organizational efficiency.
