British Glass hits back at Sidel research

packagingnews.co.uk: "British Glass has blasted Sidel's life-cycle analysis on beer packaging as 'yet another example of greenwash' that should be disqualified from serious consideration for using 'selective criteria'.

Director general David Workman said that life-cycle analysis should be done on a 'cradle-to-cradle basis' and, as yet, there was no such study for glass.

'We seem to have been inundated recently with pieces of work that are designed to promote one aspect of a material's performance whilst excluding others. Once a particular line is promoted then people start believing it,' he said."
