04 Oct 2022 --- Conducting life cycle analyses (LCA) are crucial for companies to back up their labeling claims with scientific objectivity. However, the market shows evidence that some companies tend to act more in their own interest, looking at sales rather than data when making packaging material choices, claiming that their products are sustainable without solid data in mind. At FachPack 2022, we speak with Monica Battistella, product and sustainability manager at Taghleef Industries, about the necessity for companies to conduct LCAs. She also gives insights into misleading and unregulated labeling on packs and what can be done to improve these issues. Headquartered in Dubai, UAE, Taghleef Industries is one of the largest global manufacturers of biaxially oriented PP films (BOPP), cast polypropylene films (CPP), biaxially oriented polylactic acid and biodegradable films (BOPLA) offering a standard and specialty film manufacturing capacity of more than 500,000 metric tons.
