Independent Life Cycle Assessment of ReZorce(r) mono-material
barrier packaging
27 September 2022 - Zotefoams, a world leader in cellular
materials technology, is pleased to announce impressive results
following a recent independent Life Cycle Assessment ("LCA")
conducted on Zotefoams' recyclable mono-material barrier beverage
carton packaging ReZorce. The study was conducted by Intertek, a
global leader in Total Quality Assurance.
The LCA concluded that ReZorce has a lower environmental impact
(in terms of the measures included in the assessment) than a
conventional liquid packaging board ("LPB") container. The LCA
compared ReZorce with traditional LPB cartons with both used as
primary packaging. The impact of both cartons was measured over 19
categories including Global Warming Potential ("GWP") energy
consumption, water consumption and various measures of
toxicity.
The LCA reported that ReZorce had a lower impact in all 19
measured categories, including reductions of 53% and 51% in energy
and water usage respectively over the life of the carton. In the
key GWP category ReZorce demonstrated a reduction of 55% compared
to the LPB carton.
ReZorce is a new range of recyclable mono-material barrier
packaging made using microcellular foaming technology, which also
facilitates the incorporation of recycled material.
Barrier packaging is widely used in the food, beverage and
personal care sectors to prevent degradation of products and ensure
shelf life. Many liquids, such as fruit juices and dairy products,
have traditionally been packed using LPB, which consist of layers
of polymer, wood fibre and, sometimes, aluminium laminated
together. LPB is therefore not easily recycled, whereas ReZorce is
a mono-material compatible with standard kerbside recycling, and
with circular economy principles.

Commenting on the LCA's report David Stirling, Group CEO of
Zotefoams, said: "This is a highly significant endorsement for
ReZorce packaging technology aligned to the key sustainability
targets of major brands and consumers globally."
