包装减少了食品在运输过程中的损失以及与损失相关的环境负荷。然而，过度包装会增加包装生产的环境负荷。我们评估了桃子整个生命周期的环境影响，并通过一定的模型预测了通过包装减少食物损失与环境影响之间的关系。采用全生命周期评价方法对桃种植、包装生产到废弃物处理过程中的环境负荷进行评价。某些影响类别的关系表明，尽量减少粮食损失并不一定会使环境负荷尽量减少。这突出了在生产环境优化包装时评估减少粮食损失和环境影响的重要性。在环保的基础上比较了可重复使用的塑料盒和一次性使用的纸板箱。两种包装条件下的全生命周期环境负荷基本相似，因为可重复使用包装盒生产的环境负荷较低，但相关的食物损失率较高。
Packaging decreases food losses during transportation and the loss-related environmental load. However, excessive packaging can increase the environmental load for package production. We assessed environmental impacts throughout the peach life cycle and predicted the relationship between food loss reduction via packaging and environmental impact with certain models. Life cycle assessment was employed to evaluate the environmental loads from peach cultivation and package production to waste management. The relationships for certain impact categories indicate that the minimization of food losses did not necessarily lead to a minimization of environmental loads. This highlights the importance of assessing both food loss reduction and environmental influence in producing environmentally optimized packaging. A reusable plastic box and single-use cardboard box were compared on an environmental basis. The environmental loads throughout the life cycle were nearly similar between these two packaging conditions because the environmental load of reusable box production was lower but the associated food loss ratio was higher.
