PIQET is proud to share the following testimonials from our clients. These testimonials highlight the value of PIQET's Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tool and services.

  • Streamlined LCAs, like PIQET, save time and money and lower the complexity of required data by isolating the more impactful factors and making assumptions. When the scope is consistent and known, streamlined LCAs can assess the environmental impact of specific materials whether they are bioderived or post-consumer recycled content and assess disposal options.

  • Research Gate 'PIQET: The design and development of an online streamlined LCA tool for sustainable packaging design decision support'

    PIQET is designed to address a gap in the eco-design andenvironmental innovation process as it relates to packagingsystems. This gap is the lack of availability of low cost, readilyaccessible, first-point information and knowledge regardingthe indicative comparative environmental impacts of alterna-tive packaging systems being considered for adoption at thedesign stage. It follows that PIQET has been designed tofacilitate training and knowledge development around lifecycle concepts, while also providing information for usebetween actors on the supply side, both within organisationsand across production and retailing supply chains.The tool has proved valuable in this regard to a range oforganisations as part of the packaging design process. Itsuse at the design stages enables environmental impacts tobe considered up-front and environmental improvementsmade. It is particularly suited to continuous imp rovementand benchmarking against different designs
