Editing Agriculture — Food Packaging Emissions (section)

== Boundary Conditions ==
Boundary inclusions cover all greenhouse gas emissions directly linked to the lifecycle stages of food packaging materials associated with agricultural products. This includes emissions from raw material extraction (such as petroleum for plastics or pulp for paper), manufacturing processes, transportation logistics specific to packaging, and end-of-life management including recycling, landfilling, and incineration.

Boundary exclusions include emissions from agricultural production activities unrelated to packaging, such as crop cultivation, livestock rearing, and on-farm energy use. Emissions from packaging used outside the agri-food sector or packaging unrelated to food products are also excluded. Additionally, indirect emissions from consumer use of packaged food products beyond packaging handling are not considered.
