6. What is PIQET?
Packaging Impact Quick Evaluation Tool
• Web-accessed
• Streamlined life cycle assessment
(LCA) tool
• Enables rapid assessment of the
environmental impact of packaging
systems

7. What Does PIQET Model?
• All packaging on a pallet of
packed product
• Design parameters at each
packaging level can be modelled
independently
• PIQET’s systematic improvements
enable increasing customization &
specificity

The companion Data Collection Template allows non-users
close to packaging system data to share it easily to an
organization’s PIQET users. This enables fast analysis
and organizational efficiency.
