The Food and Drink Federation (FDF) and the Industry Council for research on Packaging and the Environment (INCPEN) have introduced a new publication, “Packaging for people, planet and profit – sustainability checklist.”
With a foreword from Environment Minister Thérèse Coffey, the checklist will help companies choose and optimize their packaging systems to continuously improve the sustainability of their value chain. It provides practical guidance for companies to improve resource efficiency at all stages of a packaged product’s journey while ensuring that the essential functionality of the packaging is not compromised. While including references to relevant regulation and guidance, the checklist also encourages companies to go above and beyond legal requirements.
