Peanut Butter E-commerce LCA

Peanut butter packaging has evolved quite a bit since the popular spread debuted in glass jars and tins. For this Life Cycle Assessment study, three separate e-commerce packaging scenarios for peanut butter were evaluated with a cradle-to-grave boundary: pouches with fitments in a small corrugated box, which represent the standard measurement for this study; pouches with fitments in a small corrugated box with an additional overbox; and PET jars that ship in a corrugated e-commerce case.
