Dr. Bronner’s Paperboard Cartons Refill rPET Bottles to Ace LCA
Paperboard cartons get high LCA marks, but break down when wet. Meanwhile, 100% rPET bottles are circular, work great in the shower, and if they're refilled, are not single-use. Dr. Bronner’s refillable carton leverages both formats' strengths.
May 3, 2024
According to a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), the carton format had the lowest environmental footprint of all the options, which compared PCR, molded fiber, glass, aluminum, and paper cartons. Using cartons to refill more durable rPET bottles makes the whole system bathroom- and shower-worthy, since the cartons themselves deteriorate in wet environments.
