This study investigated trends in environmental sustainability of US consumer packaging from 1971 to 2011, comparing twenty-three "current" packages to twenty-three "old" packages. A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, using COMPASS(r) software was employed. The scope of the LCA in this study includes the manufacturing, the conversion, and the end-of-life phases of the primary packaging. Five life cycle impact indicators were selected in this study: fossil fuel consumption, water consumption, biotic resource consumption, mineral resource consumption, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions....
