Life cycle assessment of example packaging systems for milk

Two life cycle assessment reports and a foreword covering the potential environmental impact of different example milk containers for pasteurised milk available on the UK market.

The purpose is to inform and educate WRAP and our stakeholders about the nature of the environmental impacts of each milk container system and the benefits that can be achieved through alternative end-of-life options. 

This information should not be used to make comparative assertions between formats.  The reports comprise:

Foreword

Report 1: milk distributed via a retail system.

Report 2: milk distributed via a doorstep delivery system.
