Packaging

Sustainable packaging

Scrutiny of an organisation’s environmental and packaging impact by government, consumers & environmental groups is taking centre stage. Your customers may have signed up to the UK plastic pact committing themselves to reduce packaging waste. The packaging industry must respond to the requirements of a diverse range of manufacturing sectors.

This includes different technical performance for packaging such as improving product shelf life, protecting product as well as promoting the product. As a manufacturer, you are now under increased pressure to ensure that your packaging strategy meets your customers’ expectations and is also in aligned with your organisation’s sustainability strategy.

The packaging regulations are tightening

The government’s new resources and waste strategy will significantly impact the business cost. According to the new regulation:

  • Businesses handling over 50 tonnes of packaging with annual turnover of £2 million will be obligated to pay the full net cost of recovery
  • The UK will tax single-use plastic packaging containing less than 30% recycled content by 2020
  • Eight problematic materials such as plastic cutlery, household polystyrene packaging and PVC packaging will be eliminated by 2025. Your customers will ask for alternatives

With these regulations looming, you must take proactive measures to ensure that you mitigate any environmental and economical risks associated with packaging in your organisation.

Stay ahead of the packaging regulations

Prepare for the risks that are coming ahead to ensure that you are not only complying with government regulations but meeting customer demand and reducing your environmental impact. You will need to understand the environmental impact of your packaging across its life cycle from the raw materials, design to the end of life. Ensuring sustainability principles are used in the early stages of packaging design will help you with a smoother transition ahead of the proposed regulatory changes. Doing so will help identify key opportunities that can be applied to reduce waste, environmental impact and economic risk.

We help organisations in the packaging sector and organisations that are part of the packaging value chain. Our approach is comprehensive as we uncover packaging initiatives that can be achieved by various stakeholders from staff, suppliers and customers.

Take a proactive approach to packaging, get in touch with our packaging experts to learn more.

I was impressed with the thoroughness and level of detail that our data set was analysed in. Presenting an extensive data set in an easy to use format was of great value in communicating the outcome of the work internally, and prioritising areas of the supply chain for future action.

Alan Sweeting, Global Health, Safety and Environment Senior Manager, Allen & Overy LLP

Avieco supported us in collating and organising data to develop a robust risk assessment process. They have been easy to work with, responsive to our requirements and pragmatic in their solutions.

Gijs Voskuilen, Head of Corporate Responsibility, Bunzl

Avieco has been the preferred environmental consultant since the beginning of our journey to become a sustainable company. Dentsu Aegis has worked with Avieco’s experts on various areas, such as carbon footprint reporting and assurance support, and recently also advised us how to switch our global network to renewable electricity. The team’s expertise on environmental sustainability is impressive, and the work delivered is always of highest standard.

Lars Holm, Global Senior Manager CSR, Dentsu Aegis Network

Avieco informatively led us through the processes needed to reduce our carbon footprint. With their clear and concise advice we have been able to effectively reduce our energy and waste levels. Avieco made the complex notion of energy efficiency into a manageable and achievable reality

Nigel Pink, Group Engineering Manager, Dominos UK & Ireland Ltd

Avieco delivered exactly the workshop we needed to get our sustainability team and regional leads on the same page when it comes to ‘market-based’ reporting. It’s a challenging area to tackle for a global business – particularly when we operate in a number of markets where there is little or no choice in terms of energy purchasing. Avieco has given us the knowledge and tools to ensure we get our disclosures right – they really exceeded my expectations for what we could achieve in one afternoon!
