A simplified life cycle assessment tool for evaluating the environmental impacts of packaging.

Integrate environmental assessment early into your design process. From ideation through prototyping and production you can continually assess the environmental implications of your design choices.

Key Features include:

  • Comprehend Ability 
    Enough of that LCA jargon, we use terminology familiar to packaging engineers and designers. Quickly analyze weight changes, different materials, recycled content, take back program, shipping and distribution pathways.
  • Transparency 
    Find the source of your impacts, dig back through life cycle inventory data, and add your own data. Apply multiple metrics, including Walmart and Global Packaging Project.
  • Affordability & Action ability
    Share your work with internal teammates or external LCA consultants with web based annual licenses.
  • Consistency & Accuracy
    PackageSmart is the only tool on the market where a declared manager can choose their own Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) and their own Life Cycle Impact Assessment Method (LCIA), thus keeping consistency across the company.

Make environmental decisions early when freedom of design is still high and the cost of change is still low. PackageSmart simplifies life cycle assessment allowing packaging designers and managers to evaluate the environmental implications of multiple packaging options. 

PackageSmart was designed to be compatible with SimaPro. Originally developed to run on top of SimaPro, PackageSmart 2 is now an independent web-based tool.

Development of an automated connection between PackageSmart and SimaPro is underway. Please contact us for data transfer services between PackageSmart and SimaPro.

In conjunction with the release of the GPP indicators, a GPP Impact Assessment Method (IAM) will be included in the PackageSmart LCA software. This will allow users to easily model their LCA toward these indicators, providing them with accurate and actionable data.
