The premade STANDCAP Pouch has a number of sustainability benefits when compared to an HDPE bottle for packing and shipping chocolate syrup. These include lower fossil fuel and water use, GHG emissions, better product-to-package ratio and considerably less material discarded at end-of-life.

Condiments and sauces are most often sold in a rigid package. All five of the packages used to create the generic Condiment/Sauce pack standard were between 12 – 16 oz. For this streamlined LCA study, two rigid packaging formats were evaluated (0% and 30% PCR in the PET bottle) vs. the recyclable STANDCAP. A product weight of 14.9 oz. was used for the comparison.

The results of this scenario show that the premade STANDCAP Pouch results in lower impacts across a wide range of environmental metrics, including fossil fuel and water use, GHG emissions and discarded material. This is driven by the efficient material usage of the flexible pouch, which uses less than half the amount of material needed to package the same amount of lotion.

The flexible premade STANDCAP Pouch has a number of positive sustainability attributes when compared to a rigid PET bottle for honey, which includes lower fossil fuel and water use, GHG emissions and discarded material; and a higher overall product-to-package ratio.

The results of this scenario show that the premade STANDCAP Pouch results in lower impacts across a wide range of environmental metrics including water use, greenhouse gas emissions, and material discarded. The inclusion of PCR drives all of the environmental indicators lower – fossil fuel, greenhouse gas emissions, and water use.

The premade STANDCAP Pouch for mayonnaise has a number of sustainability benefits when compared to a rigid inverted container or PET jar for mayonnaise, including lower fossil fuel and water use, GHG emissions, better efficiency of materials and considerably less material discarded at end-of-life.

When the premade STANDCAP Pouch and HDPE bottle are used for mustard, the flexible structure will generally have a favorable outcome for fossil fuel and water usage, GHG emissions and material discarded. This is driven by the flexible pouch using less material than the rigid bottle, resulting in less energy used in manufacturing and transporting of the package materials, among other environmental impacts.

Protein powders are often sold in a rigid package, but can also be found sold in flexible packaging formats such as Stand-up Pouches (SUP). For this comparison, 2 separate SUPs were evaluated with the rigid HDPE canister as the standard to which other packages are compared. A product weight of 584g was used for the comparison.

The premade STANDCAP Pouch has a number of sustainability benefits when compared to a PET bottle for packing and shipping salad dressing, including lower fossil fuel and water use, GHG emissions, better product-to-package ratio and considerably less material discarded at end-of-life.

The results in this scenario show that the premade STANDCAP Pouch has a number of sustainability benefits when compared to a glass jar for packing and shipping salsa. These include lower fossil fuel and water use, greenhouse gas emissions, better product: package ratio (efficiency of materials), and considerably less material discarded at end of life.

The premade STANDCAP Pouch has a number of sustainability benefits when compared to a HDPE bottle for packing and shipping shampoo, including lower fossil fuel and water use, GHG emissions, better product-to-package ratio and considerably less material discarded at end-of-life.

Shampoo is often sold in a rigid package, but with more companies looking to find ways to reduce their environmental impacts, some are considering the use of flexible packaging as a solution. In this streamlined LCA, two separate SUP- samples are presented as an alternative. The difference between the 2 SUPs is based on the materials used and post-consumer recycled (PCR) content included in the structure. A product volume of 1 liter (33.8 fl. oz) was used for the comparison.
