Evaluate environmental impacts of conventional versus reusable packaging systems using Life Cycle Assessment.
Applied standardized Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach
Compared five packaging configurations for aluminum beverage cans
Evaluated impacts under varying logistic scenarios including reverse logistics
Single-use cardboard solutions perform well in certain categories
Reusable systems outperform single-use with adequate reuse cycles and managed reverse logistics
Sensitivity analyses show transport distances and reuse frequency critically affect overall impacts
