This session will unpack the science behind circular carbon reduction in packaging and apparel, with a focus on bio-based plastics and their real-life applications across the value chain. Participants will explore case studies, get hands-on experience calculating climate impact, and compare fossil-based scenarios to bio-based alternatives. Case study deep dives: • Dairy packaging: from primary and secondary packaging to storage and waste at the manufacturer and retail level. • Apparel: a lingerie example with specific footprint dynamics.

Join us to leave with not just insights, but real tools to better understand, evaluate and communicate the climate impact of your choices in your own work.

What you will learn: • The concept of circular carbon footprint: what it means and how it applies to the different products. • How replacing fossil-based with bio-based affects emissions across the value chain. • Why the end-of-life stage is not what differentiates fossil vs. bio-based plastics in terms of carbon footprint. • The difference between cradle-to-gate and full life cycle assessments.
