sustainable packaging
is packaging made by
the best utilization of
renewable energy,
design and materials
to minimize the
environmental impact
through its lifecycle.

The nature and amount of packaging required depends
on each individual product and the logistics of moving
it from manufacturer to consumer
The main functions of packaging are:
Containment
Protection
Marketing
Displaying information
Convenience
Portion control

Goals of a sustainable packaging
initiative include
Reducing packaging and maximizing the use
of renewable or reusable materials
Using materials which reduce negative end-of-
life impacts (e.g., eliminating the use of heavy
metals and materials such as PVC)
Using materials which are from certified,
responsibly managed forests
Optimizing material usage including product-
to-package ratios


continuation
Meeting criteria for performance and cost
(e.g, minimize product damage during transit)
Reduce the flow of solid waste to landfill
Reduce the costs associated with packaging
(i.e., logistics, storage, disposal, etc.)
Reduce CO2 emissions through reduced
shipping loads At Bureau Veritas, we can help
you customize a program to meet your
companys specific goals and objectives.
Functions of Sustainable packaging
Preserve
Protect
Inform Transport
Key benefits of Sustainable Packaging
Meet the growing consumer demand for eco-
friendly products
Minimize the hazardous impact of products
upon the environment and society
Enhance risk management and brand
protection
Strategies for Sustainable Packaging
Manufacture with renewable and compostable
materials
Manufacture with recycled and recyclable
material
Design for reuse
Design for recycling
Eliminate inks , paints and adhesives that are
toxic
Eliminate secondary packaging
Reduce the volume of materials used



Renewable and Compostable materials
Examples :
Bio-plastics made from corn, potato, wheat, or
dairy polymers
Paper and cardboard from sustainable
managed forest
Cellulose film

Recycled and Recyclable materials
Examples :
Paper and cardboard made from recycled fiber
or molded pulp
Recycled and recyclable plastics like HDPE and
PET
Design for reuse
Examples :
Reusable and recyclable crates and pallets
Re-sealable plastic containers
Return system for customer refills
Design for recycling
Examples :
Packaging made from a single
material (including labels and
closure system)
Packaging made from materials
that are commonly collected for
recycling
Packaging with prominent
recycling symbols
STAND-UP POUCHES: flexibility,
sustainably
Stand-up pouches are
growing rapidly: standing
for protection, standing for
communication, standing
for convenience, standing
for sustainability.
US demand for stand-up
pouches is forecast to grow
by 42% over the next five
years to reach almost 24
billion units in 2018
Packaging A Part Of The Solution
Packaging only exists because products exist: Packaging
protects what it sells and sells what it protects.
The environmental impact of over-packaging is widely
debated, and rightly condemned.
Its very visible but little understood by consumers:
Packaging comprises approx. 5% of the environmental
impact .
Packaging serves to protect more resources than it
consumes, thus bringing economic, environmental and
social benefits.
Modern Society couldnt function without it!!









Packaging future.
In the near future the role of packaging will change, we will
see packaging as a resource rather than a resource waster.
Keeping the molecule in play will gain momentum
(recyclability).
Bio-based packaging materials will grow, but not
necessarily biodegradable.
Bright Future for Stand-Up Pouches: Standing for
protection, Standing for communication, Standing for
convenience, Standing for sustainability.
Increasing health and environmental awareness, rising food
prices and food safety concerns and improved purchasing
power will drive growth in the smart packaging market
