Évaluation énergétique et environnementale de la chaîne du froid des fraises : comparaison de différents matériaux d’emballage utilisés.

Energy and environmental assessment of strawberry cold chain - comparison of the use of different materials for packaging.

Résumé

Most fresh fruits and vegetables are highly perishable and require both low temperature storage and suitable packaging. However, the energy consumption for refrigerated equipment and the use of materials for packaging, plastic in particular, generate important environmental impacts. Moreover, recent laws limit more and more the use of plastic for fruit and vegetable packaging. The aims of the current work are first to assess the energy consumption of refrigerated equipment and second to analyse the environmental performance of strawberry supply chain. Various cold chain steps (packing station, platform, supermarket, refrigerated vehicles...) were modelled using data from interviews of stakeholders, experts and literature. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was performed for the strawberry cold chain. Different materials for packaging (plastic, recycled paper and cardboard) were compared.
