AGRIBALYSE v3.2 dataset, 2024.

The inventory includes : (1) only the main packaging material (in contact with the product) ; (2) the transport for packaging supply (ratio FR and ratio RER) ; (3) only the main process ; (4) the end of life of the main packaging material.

Functional unit: 1kg of packaged food product

The packaging solutions mentioned as PROXY PACK have been developed with a simplified approach but are based on datasets from PACK-AGB project. These datasets have not been developed for use in comparative LCAs of packaging solutions: if this is your purpose, we recommend that you follow the ADEME reference framework on comparative comparative LCA between different packaging solutions: https://librairie.ademe.fr/dechets-economie-circulaire/5309-cadre-de-reference-acv-comparatives-entre-differentes-solutions-d-emballages.html

Overall data quality : DQR= 2,25; Technological representativeness (TeR) = 1; Geographical representativeness (GR) = 2; Time-related representativeness (TiR) = 5; Precision (P material) = 1; Precision (P processing) = 1

Time period: Inventory data based on 2023 " Plein Pot Sur les Emballages " (PPSE) data (data from ADEME and Open Food Facts)

Use of "PPSE" data to improve packaging modelling for products not covered by the "PACK AGB" project. Data verified by CTCPA's packaging expert.

General assumptions

For "PPSE" missing data, assumptions are based on CTCPA expertise 
Some multi-layer packaging (identified by CTCPA's expert) are modeled using a packaging solution from PACK AGB project. Nota bene the packaging format may be different.

Assumptions at each stage: 

Production
- Only the packaging material in contact with the product or ensuring the product's shelf life is modeled.
For example, in the case of cookies packaged in PP plastic bags (element 1), themselves packaged in a cardboard box (elements 2): (i) Element 2 is the heaviest / (ii) Element 1 is in contact with the product, so the PP material was taken into account.
- For multi-element and multi-layer packaging, the inventory calls for the material in contact with the product and for the quantity, an assumption has been made to take of the packaging solution (sum of all elements) and consider this value for this material.
- Datasets created as part of the PACK AGB project were used, for the most representative material.

Processing
- Only the most representative process for the most representative packaging material is included.
For example, in the case of a multi-layer flexible film, only the extrusion process is modeled. The lamination process used to combine the various packaging layers was not included. 
- Datasets created as part of the PACK AGB project were used for the most representative process.

Transport
- The assumptions of the PACK AGB project were applied
- Datasets created as part of the PACK AGB project were used, for the most representative packaging material
- Ratios from France and Europe compiled in the PACK AGB project by packaging material were used (ADEME data, 2020).

End of life
- All plastic packaging is considered non-recycled (R2=0%).
To be able to affirm that the plastic packaging is recycled, it is necessary to consider the whole packaging solution (with all the elements and materials) and in this project the dataset only include a part of the packaging (proxy)
- Datasets created as part of the PACK AGB project were used, for the most representative packaging material. 
- The Circular FootPrint Formula was applied.
