| Abstract: | There is growing pressure on the automotive industry to lessen the environmental footprint of its packaging systems as a result of the growing regulatory demands, stakeholder expectations and net-zero commitments. In the automotive supply chains, packaging is the cause of a significant level of material consumption, waste, and Scope 3 carbon activities. This paper puts forward a sustainable packaging model of lifecycle optimization that incorporates the development of innovative materials and circular logistics with minimizing carbon impacts to enable informed decision-making concerning the environment. The analysis approach to be applied in the study is an analytical approach based on the lifecycle assessment tool to comparatively assess conventional single-use packaging and alternative sustainable packaging systems in terms of key environmental indicators such as lifecycle carbon emission, energy use, waste, and reuse intensity. Proposed but industry-typical data is used to demonstrate the performance disparity between virgin plastic, recycled plastic, bio-based polymers, and reusable packaging solutions. The findings prove that material substitution, but not a combination of both, can help to decrease embodied emissions, but the greatest environmental advantages can be obtained when durable materials are paired with the high reuse cycles and efficient reverse logistics. Composite packaging systems used in packaging systems have significant lifecycle carbon emissions and waste reduction in comparison with linear single- use models. The results point to the existence of trade-offs that are vital between the performance regarding environmental impact and the complexity of operations, which is essential under the conditions of lifecycle-wide evaluation. The suggested framework adds to the literature on sustainable supply chain management by functionalizing the principles of the circular economy in the context of automotive packaging and provides a practical advice to manufacturers and suppliers in the packaging sector that aim to support the alignment of the packaging strategies with the objectives of the circular economy and corporate decarbonization. |
