The LCA Centre
Koninklijke Paardekooper Group has its own, independent packaging laboratory, ‘The LCA Centre’. With their advanced research equipment, the researchers at the LCA Centre can work out the precise composition of a product and its actual impact on the environment, over its entire life cycle.
Forensic LCA
The LCA Centre uses the same forensic research methods as the police. A material's composition is determined by means of an infrared spectrograph (a radiographic x-ray device) along with a variety of other spectroscopes and microscopes. The LCA Centre's researchers can define the functional unit, determine the material composition and trace the country of origin.
Packaging rules and regulations
The rules and regulations on packaging and environment are complex and can change rapidly. We keep an eye on the latest developments for our customers, whether they ask us to or not. Not only are our specialists familiar with the current rules and regulations, but they have an understanding of likely or possible future developments. This gives us the ability to look beyond the present, and to offer future-proof advice.
Lab research
It is hard to tell with the naked eye exactly what materials have been used in a particular packaging. But it may be necessary to identify a product's components: for a quality assessment, for example, to check for unwanted/prohibited substances or for component-costing purposes; to see if the price charged for a consignment actually matches the material percentages. For an LCA study it is essential to have access to the actual components. Through reversed engineering the LCA Centre can obtain these data and offer advice based on the facts.
Advice
Packaging has an essential role in the (food) chain. From time to time an (urgent) query or discussion may arise about a particular packaging item. In the case of food safety, for example. With our know-how, measurement equipment and the methods used in the LCA Centre we can provide a rapid and science-based answer to (urgent) queries of this type. The LCA Centre develops and authors strategic packaging plans. It helps clients with their environment claims and answer questions over current environmental issues in relation to packaging.
