In 2019, LC Packaging, aided by Except Integrated Sustainability, conducted comprehensive corporate environmental footprint research of our CO2 emissions, waste generation and water and energy use in 2018.
2022
In 2016, LC Packaging conducted its very first environmental footprint research. Based on the outcomes of this research, we finalised our environmental targets for 2022. Since 2016, LC Packaging has increased its workforce with 30%, added an extension to our production facility in Bangladesh and scaled up our production worldwide. All of this naturally caused our CO2
emissions, energy use and water consumption to increase. However, as you can see from our 2018 calculations, the emissions and usage per FTE has decreased, with the help of our sustainable initiatives to minimise our footprint worldwide, reaching all targets set for 2022. In waste production especially, there is a reduction established per FTE of over 350%.

Target
for 2022
Reduction
per FTE
In the coming 2.5 years, we aim to reduce our total environmental footprint in all areas – not just per FTE – meaning we will continue our journey to find and implement ways to minimise our footprint for all LC Packaging offices, warehouses and production locations.

WorldBag Reconditioning Service
In 2018, LC Packaging reconditioned over 55,000 FIBCs through our affiliate, WorldBag Reconditioning Service, saving up to 485,650 litres of water, 176,550 kWh energy and 132,000 kilos of plastics waste. WorldBag collects used big bags all over Europe, cleaning and repairing them, ready for reuse. The bags are then delivered back to our customers is pristine condition. Reconditioning FIBCs leads to a 43% to 66% reduction in the carbon footprint, depending on the number of reuse cycles. Moreover, it ensures the right balance between a long life span and low costs.
