A Dutch sustainability consultancy specialising in life-cycle assessment, environmental footprint calculation, and the storytelling that turns sustainability data into business decisions. Greenhouse Sustainability contributes the scientific methodology behind PackR8's recyclability scoring and impact calculations.
"You can't reduce what you can't measure. We give companies the numbers behind their footprint, and the language to tell that story to customers and regulators."
PackR8's PPWR Article 6 recyclability grades, Article 7 recycled-content calculations, and packaging-footprint reporting all rest on methodology that needs to hold up to scientific and regulatory scrutiny. Greenhouse Sustainability is where that methodology comes from.
The frameworks for assessing a packaging item's environmental impact across raw material, production, distribution, use, and end-of-life. PackR8 uses these methodologies to compute footprint metrics that hold up against EU and ISO standards.
Translating PPWR Annex II into a deterministic, defensible grading system, accounting for material composition, separability, contamination, recycling-stream availability, and Member-State-level realities.
What counts as a defensible supplier certificate. What a usable test report looks like. What documentation auditors want when they ask "show me the data". The opinions baked into PackR8's evidence vault come straight from Greenhouse's audit experience.
Greenhouse Sustainability and PackR8 share an office at Smidsvuur 2 in Nieuwkoop, but the partnership goes well beyond geography. The challenge with packaging compliance has always been the gap between what good looks like (Greenhouse's domain) and doing it at scale (PackR8's domain).
When a customer asks "is this PET tray Grade A under PPWR?" the answer requires LCA expertise. When a customer needs that answer for 5,000 SKUs, every quarter, with audit evidence, that's a software problem. PackR8 codifies Greenhouse's working methodology so customers get the same scientific rigour at scale, without having to hire an LCA consultancy for every routine question.
Greenhouse continues to provide bespoke LCA work for customers whose packaging questions go beyond what the platform handles, full cradle-to-grave assessments, custom-product carbon footprints, sustainability storytelling for marketing and ESG reporting.
