A first memory (1203) has environmental-impact information stored therein regarding at least the provision of specific packaging materials, use of specific packaging materials, and post-use processing of specific packaging materials. A second memory (1204) has packaging information stored therein. A computer (1201) having access to these memories processes (104) the packaging information as a function, at least in part, of the environmental-impact information to calculate a single corresponding value to represent a score as pertains to the overall environmental impact of the packaging. This single corresponding value is then presented (105) to a user. A user interface (1206) will permit a user to enter the aforementioned packaging information and/or to receive the aforementioned single corresponding value. An optional third memory (1205) can store at least one weighting factor as pertains to environmental impact that can be used when calculating the value.
