3.00 Credits
This course explores the fundamentals behind assessing and measuring the sustainability of different packaging systems used today. Different evaluation paradigms are discussed, covering the environmental, economic, and social dimensions of using various packaging materials. An in-depth analysis of paper, plastic, metal, and glass material is presented to help students understand the energy demand, global warming potential, and other factors associated with the manufacturing and use of common materials. This course also covers end-of-life solutions for various materials, including a cost-benefit analysis for recycling, chemical recycling, and composting. Students complete an analysis of their own using one of the assessment techniques presented in the class to explore the impacts of a particular packaging application.
