Packaging - Recommendations for conducting life-cycle inventory analysis of packaging systems
Scope: The scope of this CEN report is to establish a set of guidelines of best practice for undertaking those aspects of life-cycle inventory analysis specific to packaging systems.
In the field of life-cycle assessment (LCA) development and research are ongoing in various areas. The methodology of life-cycle assessment is under continuous progression. Hence, this CEN report, which contains basic advice on the methodology of life-cycle inventory analysis, only serves as a guide to conducting inventory analysis of the life-cycle of packaging systems.

Packaging - Energy recovery from used packaging
Scope: This technical report considers the recovery of energy from used packaging within municipal solid waste (MSW) or as a refined, cleaner fuel and has been prepared by experts of the CEN working group TC 261 (Packaging) / SC 4 (Packaging and Environment). The working group has reviewed existing knowledge and experience related to technology and practice for recovering energy from combustible used packaging's.
The role of used packaging within an integrated philosophy of resource management is assessed. The value of used packaging as a fuel is discussed, together with a review of its characteristics and potential environmental impact.
The terms used in the report are explained in an Appendix.
