How Does the PIP360° Tool Work?
After inputting basic packaging specification data, the tool provides a score for recyclable, reusable or compostable packages. It allows the user to compare product scores, and helps prioritize pathways for improving circularity -- see examples below.

Testimonials
"PIP360° is a powerful tool that can be used to validate the circularity of different materials. As we work towards supporting a circular economy, we need to ensure we engineer our packaging waste to become a resource. PIP360° can support the packaging decision-making process by bench-marking and certifying the circularity of the pathway forward, in conjunction with LCAs,
to ensure the waste can be recycled in the region where it’s being sold."
- Lukas Martinovic Sustainability Manager, Silgan Plastics
“PIP360 offers a scalable platform to evaluate the circularity of packaging assessed for the market of sale. The resulting score is not just a statement of the current packaging circularity, but also serves as a guide to improved circularity whether by recycling, reuse, or composting. Single-score evaluations of sustainability are difficult; PIP360 provides a meaningful measure now with opportunity for additional scope in the future. We are excited by the potential we have seen from using the PIP360 tool.”
— Brent Heist, Director Global Packaging Sustainability, The Procter & Gamble Company
