Sensitivity analysis and multi-scenario network optimization with Guidelines about risk hotspots (öffnet in neuem Fenster)

The goal for this task is to study how the uncertainty of the driving aspects like the package options, the logistic operations, the consumers’ behavior affect the costs, the environmental impacts of the proposed network together with its resilience. We build over the data collection and characteristic metrics/impacts quantification performed at T3.1, T3.2, and WP2 for consumers behaviour, and WP6 - environmental impacts from LCA studies, to generate a sensitivity analysis where the values of such parameters will be varied according to statistics rules or experts’ considerations. The parameters’ distributions will result in probability density functions (PDFs) describing all the driving aspects and model’s inputs statistically. The PDFs will then feed the model (developed in T3.3) to carry out a multi-scenario what-if analysis able to compare economical and environmental optimum (via multi-objective optimization) and predict the impact of uncertainties (via robust optimization) on the overall reuse system performance. The interpretation of the multi-scenario what-if analysis will highlight hotspots of uncertainty and critical scenarios as a list of recommendations for the derisking task T3.5. As for the logistical optimization, the results will be contextualised depending on local variables provided by the partners.

Comparative analysis: LCA of SUBSTITUTION packagings - part A (öffnet in neuem Fenster)

Comparative analysis: LCA of SUBSTITUTIONpackagings - part A is linked to task 6.3 : tThe technical development conducted in WP4, and D4.2 will allow the identification of suitable solutions applicable to the different food typologies. This milestone will serve to select the most promising technologies on which comparison LCA will be carried out. Taking into account a proper functional unit, LCA analyses will compare existing products (preliminary analysed in T6.1) with newly developed solutions resulting from WP4. Needed Social LCA and LCC considerations will be included in the study.

Guidelines for efficient environmental reuse scenarios (öffnet in neuem Fenster)

Guidelines for efficient environmental reuse scenarios are linked to the tasks 6.3 : The LCA studies will be aimed to assess if the systemic reuse of packagings designed in WP3 has benefited from the Environmental, Social and LCC point of view and which is the best scenario with respect to their target single-use solutions settled in T6.1. The LCA analyses will therefore compare REUSE cycles and scenarios of the same packaging, food typology and functional unit settled as the target in T6.1, and based on optimal scenarios defined by T3.4. Needed Social LCA and LCC considerations will be included in the study.

Selection of suitable packaging for reuse for each product type (öffnet in neuem Fenster)

Selection of suitable packaging for reuse for each product type will be a direct result of the task 3.1. It will be a report showing the defining caracteristics (lid, material, size, format) and specifications of the reusable packaging for each product type. The objective of this task is to perform a selection of reusable packaging options relevant to the food product types covered by R3PACK. The selection will be performed (M1-M7) in close cooperation with brand owners and retailers, following as well the specifications provided in T2.1, and it will be based on materials, shapes, lid or closing systems and products to be included in the following steps of the analysis and optimization process. The selection will cover alternative materials, such as glass (sodocalcique vs borosilicate), Metal (inox), Plastics (PBT, Tritan, PP, PET, CPET) and closing systems as they are key to reuse and will be focused mainly on products that are not already covered by reuse systems in Europe and represented in the consortium: Prepared salads, bagged salads; unprocessed fruits, and vegetables; cold cuts; butter; cheese; yoghurt; savoury biscuits; chips; soups; Juices; Milk. The analysis will be based on the work that has already been done by CITEO and CETIE. The selection of the packaging options for each product will not be definitive and further assessed via de-risking (T3.5) as it will be further validated by testing their end of life, food safety and washability to validate their use (T3.2).

Decision-support model for reuse logistic network design (öffnet in neuem Fenster)

Defining the optimal strategy to optimize the packaging reuse network environmentally and economically. This task aims at studying and prototyping the overall configuration of the reusable packaging system as a closed-loop logistic network through a novel and tailored location-allocation model developed by UniBo to aid the design of the network topology and the package flows allocation. The package materials, the package configurations and options designed normalized and tested at T3.3, further characterized by environmental impacts tallied at WP6 and consumers’ actions, expectations and requirements (from WP2), will be compared and selected through the model along with the optimal distribution and collection strategy using a commercial Linear or Mixed-Integer Programming Solver. The resulting solution in terms of optimal packaging options and related reuse strategies and logistic networks (D3.3) will feed WP5 for real-world validation and WP6 (T6.2), supporting the most relevant scenario building.

Decision tool model / guidelines adapted to the feedback (öffnet in neuem Fenster)

In tasks 5.5 the data collected throughout the demonstration process, as well market and cost data produced in T2.3, 2.4, 3.4, 4.8 and especially 5.5, will be compiled and analysed to identify all the barriers for the implementation of the project results at a commercial level (e.g. economical, legal, technological aspects) and all the internal and external factors able to influence the exploitation of the results and their further implementation at a wider scale. This work will support the validation of the technico-economical aspects of the developed solutions, the identification of the most adapted among the developed paper based and/or reusable packaging solutions for each of the targeted food products and define an optimized logistic chain with the inputs from industrial and retailers partners. These findings will be summarised into concrete guidelines and decision support tools, guiding producers and retailers in their choice of optimal packaging solutions. As a result (RE)SET will draft a business case evaluating the benefit, cost and risk of alternative options and provide a rationale for the preferred solution. This document will contain the following elements: (a) a strategic context; (b) an economic analysis to assess the return on investment based on investment appraisal of options; (c) a commercial approach and financial case to address the affordability of the solutions over time; (d) a management approach to define the roles, governance structure, life cycle choice, risks, etc.

The DMP will be written by (RE)SET by M6 and continuously updated throughout the project, detailing precisely the procedure for data collection, consent procedure, storage, protection, retention and destruction of data, and confirmation that they comply with national and EU legislation. The DMP of the project will serve as a living document that will address all aspects of the data life cycle as described in part 1.2.7 Data Management Plan of the proposal.Activities aiming at studying and prototyping the project database and knowledge repository will be led by UniBO. Qualitative information, quantitative data collected and parameters/metrics tallied during the project will be aligned and organized into a unique repository intended as SQL relational database.All the partners will participate in this task by providing a structured list of the key variables they will manage throughout all the tasks. Once defined, the database architecture will represent the template for data collection each partner must agree and comply with.

Framework for the demonstrator (öffnet in neuem Fenster)

Linked directly to the task 5.1 it allows to plan directly the demonstrator. Action Plan for REUSE: Following the scenarios designed by UniBo in T3.4, Retailers and industrial partners will select shops, washers, pooler and logistic centres that best support the demonstration activities. Shops selection criterias will be performed by Carrefour, Système U, supported by AU and will include shops over borders, shops in various areas (urban centers, rural, peri-urban), types of shops (bio, greater surface, small shop) and user types. Washers selection will be performed based on the washing method or product uses, the mapping performed in T3.2, and the distance to shops and distribution centres (from retailers such as Système U and Carrefour, and from industrial partners such as Altho, Sodiaal, etc.).Action Plan for SUBSTITUTION: The retailers and industrial partners will use a similar process to the one used for the REUSE scheme to select the shops for the substitution demonstration. They will firstly select the best substitution options to the test depending on the results of WP4 (choice of the most relevant solution per food packaging type) and then define the volumes to produce for each packaging type.
