ASSET Lifecycle Assessment: Amcor’s in-house life-cycle assessment tool helps our customers compare carbon footprint and other life cycle impacts of different packaging options, for fact-based decision making.
ASSET tool is certified by the Carbon Trust so brands can feel confident in its accuracy and neutrality.
