Walmart Sustainability Packaging Expo: zero tolerance for greenwash

Preparing to exhibit for the fifth consecutive year at Walmart’s annual Sustainability Packaging Expo, packaging suppliers have become increasingly savvy in conveying their green messages.

That’s according to Robert Parvis, Sam’s Club manager of House Brands Packaging, who spoke with GreenerPackage.com, along with Ronald Sasine, senior director of Packaging, Private Brands for Walmart Stores, about the retailer’s upcoming event, scheduled for April 6-7 at the John Q. Hammons Convention Center, in Bentonville, AR.

“Their message is becoming more and more focused,” Parvis says. “One of the things we are really pushing is clear communication, especially around anything related to sustainability claims.”

Sasine agrees, “The packaging suppliers are learning the language of Walmart, and they are learning to engage and discuss packaging with Walmart buyers and merchants in a way that, in those early years, was much more difficult for them.”
