Recycling economics
Compare a functioning package with a functioning alternative.
Packaging costs extend beyond the price of a roll or a carton. Trial scrap, product losses, conversion work and the evidence needed for an end-of-life claim can change a decision. The useful comparison holds product protection and the delivered quantity constant. Otherwise a cheaper material can appear attractive simply because the analysis leaves work or loss outside its boundary.
Read the paper-packaging guide first if the disputed assumption is whether a package can enter a real collection and reprocessing route. Move to the cost guide when you have candidate structures and need to compare their production consequences. Both articles distinguish documented evidence from a supplier assertion and show what to record when the answer is still unknown.
