An interesting comparison was presented to and approved by European Paper Packaging Alliance using Life Cycle Assessment Methodology. We often hear that Multiple-use reusable tableware is a better choice in terms of being environmentally friendly compared to single-use, but is it really true?

Take a look at the picture. There are several impact categories ranging from climate change to freshwater eutrophication which were analyzed with LCA. Based on the research, we can see that actually there are several negative impacts to changing paper single-use systems to multiple-use systems such as reusable tableware. This research also considered how many times multiple-use should be used until the end of the product life.
