EXECUTIVESUMMARY
A.Background
Thisstudy,whichisafollow-uptosimilarpackagingefficiencystudiesperformedin1995
and2007,isdesignedtodothefollowing:
1. Provideclearandcompellingexamplesofthevalueofsourcereductionasastrategyfor
developingandevaluatingsustainablepackaging.
2. Identifykeycharacteristicsofproduct/packageconfigurationsthataddtotheiroverall
levelofefficiencyandsustainability.
3. Promotetheuseofthisdataasawaytoensurethatcradle-to-graveanalyses(raw
materialextractionthroughfinaldisposal),whichcomparepackagingalternatives,take
intoaccountallrelevantinformation.
4. Illustratehowpackagingdecisionsreflectconsumerneedsandexpectations,andare
notmadelightlyor“inavacuum”.
B.Methodology
1. Fifty-sixhighvolumeproductcategorieswerechosenfromfouroutlettypes:
supermarkets,mass/generalmerchandise,drug/health&beautyaid,and“big-box”club
stores.Over300productsandpackageswereanalyzed.
2. Thepackage-to-weightratiowasdeterminedbydividingtheweightoftheproductby
thetotalweightoftheproductanditspackage,creatingapercentage.Thecloserthe
productpercentagecomesto1.00,themoreefficientthepackage.
3. Usingthegreateroftwopercentages–theEPA’slatestrecycling(recoveryforreuse)
figuresorthelevelofpost-consumerrecycledcontentaslistedonpackages-creditwas
givenforuseorcreationofdivertedmaterials.
4. Thefollowingformulawasthenappliedandnetdiscards(theamountoflandfilled

Alongwithsolidwastemanagementconcerns,issuesrelatingtopackaging,waste

1. Energyandrawmaterialpriceshavefluctuatedwidely(andwildly),makingthecost
ofmaintainingthetypicalAmericanlifestylequiteunpredictable.Plus,realincome

(SeeCensusBureau:U.S.Poverty,IncomesStayStagnant,U.S.News&WorldReport,

2. Greenhousegasemissionsarenowwidelybelieved,withscientificevidence,to

Inadditiontotheabovefactors,thelast20yearshaveseendemographic,sociological,and
marketplacetrendsthathaveledtonewtypesofpackaging:
• Smallerhouseholds;busierfamilieslookingforconvenientoptions;andhealth
concernsdrivenbythedesireforweightloss;haveallledtoaproliferationof
smallersizes,portioncontrol,andready-to-servepackaging.
• Flexibleplasticpackagingcontinuestogrow,asbrandownerslooktooffersource

Overthelast20years,therehasbeensomeverygoodnewsrelatingtopackagingdiscards.
AsshowninTable2,between1994and2012,municipalsolidwastegrewby21.5%,inline
withhouseholdgrowth.Yet,theamountofMSWrelatedtocontainersandpackaginggrew
byonly1%.Thismeansthatthepercentageofsolidwasteduetopackagingfellsignificantly
duringthose18years,from36%to30%.

TheULSReport
ThisisafardifferentscenariothanthatprojectedbytheEPAbackin1994.Atthattime,the
agencystatedthatby2010,packaging-relatedwastewouldgrowby32%(from75to99
milliontons)andaccountfor38%oftotalMSW.Whathappened?
First,the24milliontonsofusedpackagingthatwasprojectedbytheEPA,butnotgenerated,
wasprimarilyduetosourcereduction.Asarelatedreference,theEPAestimatedthat
between1972and1992,softdrinkcontainerswerereducedinweightby36%forone-way
glassbottles,32%forsteelcans,22%foraluminumcans,and18%forPETbottles.
Second,thereweremajorgainsincontainerrecycling.Between1994and2013,the
amountofpackagingmaterialsrecoveredforrecyclinggrewby55.8%,andtherecovery
(recycling)ratejumpedfrom33.5%to51.6%.Thisisverysignificant,sincemoststate
bottlebilldepositlegislationhadalreadybeenpassedandimplementedby1989.
Thus,thecombinationofincreasedsourcereductionandrecyclinghelpedreduce
packagingdiscardsbya26.5%.Onapercapitabasis,thereductionwasawhopping39%per
person,andalmost42%perhousehold.
Thisanalysisclearlyshowsthesynergisticvalueofrecyclingandsourcereduction.Thanks
toincreasedrecyclingactivity,theabsoluteamountofmaterialsrecoveredincreased.In
addition,thankslargelytosourcereduction,therelativeamountofthoserecovered

C.Methodology
1. Procedure
a. Fifty-sixhighvolumeproductcategorieswerechosenfromfouroutlettypes:
supermarkets(e.g.,Kroger,WholeFoods),mass/generalmerchandise(Walmart,
Target),drug/health&beautyaid(Walgreen’s,CVS),and“big-box”clubstores
(Costco,Sam’s).Thecategoriesandsub-categoriesarelistedonpage10,with
dataonalmost300productsbeginningonpage11.(SeeExhibitsand
Appendicesforproduct/packageinformationandphotos.)
b. Differentcontainersusedineachcategorywereweighedafteremptying,
cleaning,anddrying.Asanexample,thejuicecategoryincludescontainersmade
fromglass;steel;aluminum;plasticorclay(kaolin)coatedpaperboard;plastic
coatedfoil;andcompositesofpaper,foilandplastic.
Usingthestatedweightonthepackage,productweightingrams(28.35
grams/ounce)wasalsorecorded.Inthecaseofmostliquids,theweightwas
basedonspecificgravityofwater,whichis29.57grams.(Forreference,oneof
theexceptionsistablesyrup,whichweighsabout39.5gramsperounce.)
Then,thepackage-to-weightratiowasdeterminedbydividingtheweightofthe
productbythetotalweightoftheproductandpackage,creatingapercentage.
Theclosertheproductpercentagecomesto1.00,themoreefficientthepackage.
c. Toensurethatmeaningfuldisposalanddiversioncomparisonscouldbemade,
alternativeproductsandpackageswithineachcategorywerethenconvertedto
equivalenttermsorfunctionalunit.Forlaundrydetergentsthiswas10,000
loads;forjuicesitwas100gallons;formostfoodsitwas1000poundsof
product;andforsweetenersitwas10,000servings.
d. UsingtheEPA’slatestrecycling(recoveryforreuse)figuresorthelevelofpostconsumerrecycledcontentaslistedonpackages,creditwasgivenforuseor
creationofdivertedmaterials.
e. Thehigheroftherecyclingrateorlistedpost-consumerrecycledcontent
percentagewasused.Also,plasticpackagingnotincluding“chasingarrows”

2. DiscussionPoints/StudyLimitations
a. Thestudyisnotintendedtoprovideabsolutewinnersandlosers,butrather
trendsanddirectionaldifferencesbetweenvariouspackagingoptions.Thus,
restraintshouldbeusedwhentemptingtopick“thebetterpackage.”
b. Everyattemptwasmadetodeveloplogical,consistentcomparisons.Depending
uponthecategory,deliveredvaluewasbasedonweight,reconstitutedliquid,or
numberofportions.Forthisreason,specificcomparisonsarebestmadewithin
categories,ratherthanacrossthem.
c. Tominimizeeffectsrelatedtovolume,comparisonsweremadeprimarilyamong
packagingthatcontainedsimilaramountsordeliveredsimilarquantitiesof
product.Becauselargersizecontainersaregenerallymoreefficientthansmaller
onesintheirabilitytodeliverproduct,comparisonsweregenerallymadewithin
singleormulti-servecategories,ratherthanbetweenthem.
d. Netdiscardfiguresshouldbeconsideredapproximate,andminordifferences
shouldnotbeconsideredtobesignificant.Figureslistedareforspecific
products,notforentirecategories,soresultscouldvarysomewhatbetween
differentbrandsusingsimilarpackagingtypesandmaterials.Wearemost
concernedaboutgrossefficiencies,sincethesepresentboththemostaccurate
resultsandthebestopportunitiesforgeneratingimprovement.
e. Recyclingratesdonotnecessarilyreflectactualconditions,owingtodifferences
arisingastowhereaproductisconsumed.Ingeneral,theEPA’srecyclingrates
reflectpackagingrecycling/diversionforproductsconsumedathome.The
abilitytorecyclepackagingthatisusedout-of-home,suchaswhiletravelling,is
significantlylessthanforproductsandpackagesusedathome.Thus,the
recyclingratesforsingleservejuicepackagesmadefromsteel,aluminum,glass,
HDPE,andPETEmostlikelyoverstatethediversionratesforthesematerialswhen
usedinout-of-homeapplications.
f. Thisstudydoesnottakeintoaccountthevalueofenergygeneratedfrom
combustionofdiscards.WhiletheEPAprovidesgeneralestimatesofhowmuch
wasteiscombustedratherthandiscarded,thereisnoindicationastowhich
materialsarebeingcombusted.
g. Thisstudyseekstodeterminewastereductionordiversionefficiency.Itmakes
nojudgmentsregardingthetangibleorintangiblevalueofdifferentproductsor
materials.Theresearchwasdesignedtohighlightpackagingthatminimizes
packagingdiscards,andcannotbeused,inandofitself,tomakecategorical

h. Fromabiggerpictureperspective,thisstudydoesnottakeintoaccountthe
relationshipbetweenpackagingconfigurationsandtheirabilitytoreduce
productwaste(“shrinkage”)orothertypesofwaste.Forexample:
