Is beneficial, safe & healthy for individuals and communities throughout its life cycle; . Meets market criteria for both performance and cost; . Is sourced, manufactured, transported, and recycled using renewable energy; . Optimizes the use of renewable or recycled source materials; .

Each year, we ask questions about various aspects of general packaging sustainability. Some questions are the same every year to give us a historical picture of where the industry is—and where it is shifting. But each year we also add new questions around the hot topics du jour. This year, we focused on plastic packaging sustainability because it has captured so much attention around the world from consumers, organizations and governments today. In this detailed report, we’ll first provide some context by talking about the current climate of plastic packaging.

  • Circularity for Plastic Packaging
    Sustainable Packaging Systems Circularity design guide for plastic packaging Introduction Contents Packaging protects and preserves food and consumer goods products and gives a platform to inform the consumer about the product. Specifically, plastic packaging provides product durability, flexibility in design, hygiene and safety properties and can extend shelf life. However, following rising public concern about the rise in plastic waste, inconsistencies with collection and recycling facilities in the UK, and the increase of marine pollution, consumers are asking retailers and brands to minimise use and dependency on plastic. Whether you’re a senior technologist on a mission, an operations manager responding to client demands or a buyer with targets, this IGD guide will: • Talk you through the key sustainable design principles • Give you a 5 step design approach • Provide supporting insights and action points 2 SUSTAINABLE SUSTAINABLE 3 PACKAGING PACKAGING SYSTEMS SYSTEMS Understanding circularity Moving to a circular economy and the waste hierarchy Resources The plastics life cycle currently follows a predominantly The Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Circular Economy Butterfly linear model that follows the path of raw material extraction, Diagram gives a useful structure to adopt circularity within Minimise Manufacture manufacture, product design and moulding, product use and sustainable design focused on: then disposal.

Because packaging accounts for approximately 30% of our overall carbon footprint, our World Without Waste strategy is essential to meeting our Science-Based Target for climate. We lower our carbon footprint by using more recycled material; by lightweighting our packaging; by focusing on refillable, dispensed and Coca-Cola Freestyle solutions; by developing alternative packaging materials, such as advanced, plant-based packaging that requires less fossil fuel; and by investing in local recycling programs to collect plastic and glass bottles and cans so they can become new ones.

Three years into this transformational journey, the global conversation about plastic pollution—and calls for urgent, collaborative action—are intensifying.

  • Definition of Sustainable Packaging
    Definition of Sustainable Packaging Version 2.0 Revised August 2011 I. A Vision for Sustainable Packaging The Sustainable Packaging Coalition® (SPC), a project of GreenBlue®, envisions a world where all packaging is sourced responsibly, designed to be effective and safe throughout its life cycle, meets market criteria for performance and cost, is made entirely using renewable energy, and once used, is recycled efficiently to provide a valuable resource for subsequent generations. In summary: a true a closed loop system for all packaging materials. The mission of the Sustainable Packaging Coalition is to use thorough research and science-based approaches to help advance and communicate a positive, robust environmental vision for packaging and to support innovative, functional packaging materials and systems that promote economic and environmental health. This document articulates a definition of “sustainable packaging” so the packaging value chain can work toward a common vision. By providing a comprehensive set of criteria that encompasses the systemic nature of sustainability for packaging, this definition also identifies where action can and should be taken by the packaging industry to evaluate current efforts, identify opportunities, and begin to pursue strategies to develop more sustainable packaging materials and systems. This definition is intended as a “target vision” for companies to strive toward through continuous improvement and will evolve over time with new materials and technologies, leading to more sustainable packaging systems. II. Definition of Sustainable Packaging The criteria presented here blend broad sustainability and industrial ecology objectives with business considerations and strategies that address the environmental concerns related to the life cycle of packaging.

This is the clear plastic bag which covers every garment from manufacturing to retail stores or consumer homes. In some cases, it is removed before it gets to a consumer, but polybags are still present ‘behind the scenes’. Our report does not focus on other sources of plastic, including retail shopping bags or ecommerce mailers, which have been covered in other publications. POLYBAGS ARE SEEN AS PROBLEM – ALTHOUGH THE IMPACT IS NOT HUGE. There is a growing consumer focus on the reduction of plastics, especially single-use plastic packaging. Hundreds of billions of polybags are estimated to be produced for the fashion industry every year, although it is not precisely known what the scale of the packaging footprint is.
