| description | This study addresses a critical gap in life cycle assessment (LCA) data for yogurt packaging within the Austrian market, emphasizing the need for accurate, localized information on packaging materials, transport distances, and end-of-life processes. Through detailed measurements of yogurt cup weights, material compositions, and packaging configurations, this research provides foundational data that enhance the precision of LCAs specific to Austria. Key findings reveal that yogurt cups in Austria are primarily made from polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS), with notable variations in weight and sleeve types across different filling sizes, including paper-sleeved and non-sleeved options. This offers valuable insights for optimizing packaging design in line with circular economy and Green Deal goals. By supplying robust, Austria-specific Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) data, this study supports targeted strategies for material efficiency and sustainability in yogurt packaging, ultimately aligning with broader EU objectives for waste reduction and resource conservation. |
