New Life Cycle Assessment Study of Fish Boxes in Cold Chain Logistics – What It Means for Fish Farmers

FEAP — Tue, 12 Aug 2025 07:01:22 +0000

FEAP is taking part to a collaborative effort in analysis of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of fish boxes in cold chain logistics. This study, led by RDC Environment, brings crucial insights for Europe’s fish farmers, as the choice of packaging has a direct impact on product quality, transport efficiency, and environmental footprint.

The study shows that expanded polystyrene (EPS) offers:
– The lowest climate and environmental impact
– The best cold-chain performance, helping maintain fish freshness and reduce spoilage
– A reliable and cost-efficient option without the infrastructure burden of reuse
