The Life Cycle Icon was developed as part of the Design Guidelines for Sustainable Packaging published by GreenBlue’s Sustainable Packaging Coalition. The icon provides an abstract representation of the packaging supply chain, which can be used in miniature form to indicate the supply chain stages that are appropriate areas of focus for different design strategies. The icon has also proved useful more generally in explaining the concept of life cycles and supply chains.
