PIQET – Driving Fully Optimized Packaging Systems


• 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


• 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?


Materials

Energy

Emissions

Waste

PIQET system boundary

Excluded: Retail and consumer use impacts + transport by

consumer

What Does PIQET Model?

Transportation

Consumer

Phase

PIQET does not model

the use phase, but does

address the performance

of reusable packaging

PIQET – LCA Indicators


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

PIQET – Scenario Performance Drivers

PIQET enables a superior level of understanding of both how

packaging systems perform, and why

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.
