Mars, a privately-owned company of leading confectionary, food, drink and pet care brands, has long been a pioneer of sustainable packaging. But it is also realistic about current limitations, and the roles and responsibilities of packaging.

Businesses like ours have a significant role to play in tackling these challenges and shaping a positive, sustainable future,” said Colin Yates, Packaging Sustainability Director - Global Petcare, Mars, at the Sustainability in Packaging Europe conference in Barcelona earlier this month.
