Sustainability is defined in different ways by different sources though fundamentally refers to:

Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Sustainability has become a global issue transcending industry sectors and changing the ways in which companies conduct business. Increasingly, consumers are saying that sustainability plays a part in their purchasing decisions (according to findings in a 2007 GfK Roper/Yale survey on environmental issues).

What sustainability means to both your business and your packaging strategy...

  • Containment and transport
  • Protection
    • Protect the product from the environment
    • Protect the environment from the product
  • Communication
    • Convey required regulatory information
    • Reflect the value of the product and sell the product

Packaging represents:

  • An opportunity to enhance sustainability
  • An opportunity to generate cost savings
  • An opportunity to communicate your message of corporate responsibility

Our clients are saying...

"I highly recommend PKG to companies who do not have the skills, time or personnel to fill out the Sustainable Packaging Scorecard. PKG understands the process completely and teaches you the right questions to ask in order to complete the necessary forms. Having their assistance with the initial setup of several items has made it easier for me to maintain our scorecards and fully support Walmart's sustainability initiatives."
