Case Study: Naturata achieves streamlined, fact-based sustainable packaging decisions with Sphera

Sustainable Packaging for Naturata’s Products

Naturata, a German organic and biodynamic food company, faced the challenge of aligning its packaging choices with strong sustainability commitments while preserving food safety and shelf life. To address complex trade-offs and growing consumer demand for sustainable packaging, Naturata worked with Sphera, using Sphera’s Sustainability Consulting and the GaBi Packaging Calculator product sustainability software.

Sphera’s consultants used the GaBi Packaging Calculator to create LCAs and compare four cereal coffee packaging options, quantifying impacts such as carbon footprint, water consumption and eutrophication potential while factoring in reusability and consumer behavior. The Sphera engagement delivered fact-based insights and bundled LCI data, streamlined Naturata’s packaging design to match company strategy, increased transparency on lifecycle emissions hotspots, and enabled a final packaging choice that met consumer expectations and maintained product integrity.
