The full study was conducted by an external consultancy, is ISO-compliant and includes an external critical review. Based on the assumption that both materials are recycled at the end-of-life, the findings showed that the paper-based pallet wrapping by Mondi has a lower climate impact as one of the LCA indicators.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Advantage StretchWrap is a new, responsibly sourced and fully recyclable paper product Mondi has developed to stretch and resist punctures. Initially used to wrap around mattresses\u2019 inner springs, Mondi\u2019s extensive R&amp;D has increased the paper\u2019s strength and stretchability and reduced the grammage so that it can wrap around pallets. An industry first, Advantage StretchWrap is created at Mondi\u2019s energy efficient paper mills and has the potential to replace more than 10,000<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>tonnes of plastic for every 1% of EU pallets that transition from plastic to this paper-based wrapping solution.<\/p>\n<p>The basis of comparison is the potential environmental impacts arising from wrapping one pallet. The LCA examined 16 indicators to understand potential trade-offs between the two materials. It covers all relevant life cycle stages, from raw material extraction, production, up to the application on a pallet at the customer. In addition, the impact of the end-of-life stage is assessed.<\/p>\n<p>The LCA found that Advantage StretchWrap has 62% lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions when compared to virgin plastic stretch film, and 49% lower GHG emissions when compared to plastic stretch film made with 50% recycled content. Advantage StretchWrap has a lower environmental impact than plastic in a number of categories including climate change and fossil resource use. The plastic stretch film did perform better in some indicators, such as land use and freshwater eutrophication.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Karoline Angerer, Product Sustainability Manager Kraft Paper &amp; Paper Bags, Mondi, commented: \u201cGiven the complexities of material choice, we see independent critical reviews as essential to ensuring LCAs that deliver objective and reliable results focusing on the environmental benefits of each material. At Mondi, we use these results as part of our decision-making process in line with our MAP2030 sustainability commitments.
