"*" indicates required fields
Sustainability is no longer a choice. It is a requirement for efficient and future-ready supply chains. In egg logistics, the adoption of reusable plastic systems represents a concrete step toward reducing environmental impact. Compared to single-use materials, high-durability plastic solutions significantly lower carbon emissions over their lifecycle.
Life cycle assessment for egg packaging
At Giordano, sustainability is measured, not assumed. Through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), we evaluate the environmental impact of each product from production to end-of-life. Our methodology follows the ISO 14067 carbon footprint standard, ensuring that results are transparent, consistent, and internationally recognized.
All analyses are conducted by Global Climate Initiatives (GCI), based on primary data collected at our headquarters in Caraglio, Italy.
What is the carbon footprint of plastic egg trays?
Every component plays a role in building a more sustainable egg logistic solution especially in the ECS system.
Find below the carbon footprint data for each component of the EggsCargoSystem® (ECS):
Eggs Trays
Durable and reusable plastic egg trays replace single-use fibre alternatives, reducing waste and lowering lifecycle emissions.
Carbon footprint: 0.76
EC traditional divider
Designed to stabilize loads and maximize transport efficiency.
Carbon footprint: 16.90
EC standard pallet
A robust, long-life solution for industrial logistics.
Carbon footprint: 89.39
Designed for circularity
Giordano solutions are engineered for long-term reuse. This means that the initial carbon footprint is distributed across hundreds of cycles, reducing the impact per use and supporting a circular economy model in poultry packaging.
