Sustainable Packaging

16/06/2009

In Europe, there is increasing concern amongst companies in the packaging supply chain about the concept of “sustainable packaging”. Presently, there exists a great deal of confusion, misinformation and conflicting objectives about this term among the packaging supply chain, consumers and regulators. With it, there is a growing concern over possible unintended adverse consequences for all stakeholders.

As a consequence, Efficient Consumer Response Europe (ECR Europe), in conjunction with the European Organisation for Packaging and the Environment (EUROPEN), is to publish a non-technical guidance document with the objective of achieving a common understanding of sustainability principles, covering the entire life-cycle.

There are implications in all of this for companies in the Australian packaging supply chain. The European approach is effectively likely to become a global “standard”, even if only on a defacto basis. Its adoption by multinational brandowners and retailers will mean that it will be implemented in Australia.

In any event Australian retailers, Woolworths and ALDI in particular, are already moving tentatively in that direction.
