Analyse du cycle de vieL'analyse du cycle de vie (ACV) est une méthode d'évaluation normalisée (ISO 14040 et 14044) permettant de réaliser un bilan environnemental multicritère et multi-étape d'un système (produit, service, entreprise ou procédé) sur l'ensemble de son cycle de vie. Son but est de connaître et pouvoir comparer les impacts environnementaux d'un système tout au long de son cycle de vie, de l'extraction des matières premières nécessaires à sa fabrication à son traitement en fin de vie (mise en décharge, recyclage...
Packaging and labelingPackaging is the science, art and technology of enclosing or protecting products for distribution, storage, sale, and use. Packaging also refers to the process of designing, evaluating, and producing packages. Packaging can be described as a coordinated system of preparing goods for transport, warehousing, logistics, sale, and end use. Packaging contains, protects, preserves, transports, informs, and sells. In many countries it is fully integrated into government, business, institutional, industrial, and personal use.
Packaging engineeringPackaging engineering, also package engineering, packaging technology and packaging science, is a broad topic ranging from design conceptualization to product placement. All steps along the manufacturing process, and more, must be taken into account in the design of the package for any given product. Package engineering is an interdisciplinary field integrating science, engineering, technology and management to protect and identify products for distribution, storage, sale, and use.
Emballage durabledroite|vignette|250x250px|La pâte moulée utilise du papier journal recyclé pour former les composants de l'emballage. Ici, les chercheurs moulent des emballages à base de paille. L'emballage durable est le développement et l'utilisation d'emballages qui se traduisent par une meilleure durabilité. Cela implique une utilisation accrue de l'inventaire du cycle de vie (LCI) et de l'analyse du cycle de vie (ACV) pour aider à guider l'utilisation des emballages qui réduisent l'impact environnemental et l'empreinte écologique.
Active packagingThe terms active packaging, intelligent packaging, and smart packaging refer to amplified packaging systems used with foods, pharmaceuticals, and several other types of products. They help extend shelf life, monitor freshness, display information on quality, improve safety, and improve convenience. The terms are often related and can overlap. Active packaging usually means having active functions beyond the inert passive containment and protection of the product.
