The 'legendary' Marks & Spencer

Pw 4889 Marks Spencer 2

Marks & Spencer celebrates its 125th anniversary this year by being named the recipient of the Greener Package Retail Leadership Award. With a decades-long reputation for its awareness of and sensitivity to the environmental impact of packaging, M&S identifies these as its key accomplishments:

• A 12% reduction in packaging since beginning its environmental program
• 72% of all PET used contains food-safe post-consumer waste (PCW) recycled content
• 38% of its board is Forest Stewardship Council-certified, and that number is rising
• All HDPE milk bottles contain PCW recycled content
• The firm is a driving force behind a U.K. move to collect multilayer brick packs for recycling

Packaging sustainability is part of an encompassing agenda for the environment that debuted as “Plan A” two years ago. M&S uses an independent auditing company to ensure that all its sustainability claims are accurate and true.
