The LCA Center’s
Packaging Forensics™ service combines advanced
material analysis (e.g., FTIR , DSC, XRF, Raman) with
performance testing to give you clear, data-driven answers.
The type of services we offer include the following :
- Testing for plastic content: Lab analysis of a product or material for plastic content, based on the SUPD definition.
- Testing for presence of other specific components in a product or material:
- Lab analysis of your product to search for a specific component. For example: EVOH in multilayer films, BPA in coatings, etc.
- Let us know what you are looking for so we can perform a targeted analysis.
- Non-specific material analysis: Simply want to know “what is this material”? We’ve got you covered. We have a comprehensive range of analytical instruments so we can go all the way from a simple check to an in-depth study, depending on your wishes.
- Functionality testing: We offer a broad variety of functionality tests to analyse if a product performs according to its specifications or is fit for a specific application.
- Claim verification: Want to verify if a (green) claim is correct, or do you want to formulate your own claim? We help you to check if all requirements are met and if the claim can be substantiated.
- Support with complaints or credit notes: Got a complaint or credit note situation? We can help identify the source of the problem and who should raise the credit note.
- Support with packaging (eco) innovation: Want to increase your packaging performance and/or decrease its environmental impact? We are well-equipped to help you with technical support and analyse and improve your (new) packaging products and innovations.
