Within sustainable packaging we apply 4 different
approaches
Reduce weight
or change to
lower
environmental
impact
packaging
Increase re-use of
packaging
materials, main
focus on glass
bottles
Encourage consumers
to recycle packaging
and increase the
amount of recycled
content in new
packaging
Re-think packaging and
waste, for example
recycling of packaging
materials by channelling
the material into other
products.
10. The Sustainable Packaging Programme has 3
pillars
“Reduce environmental
impact and weight of
primary and secondary
packaging”
“Accelerate sustainable
packaging innovations
and explore new areas
to reduce impact”

sustainable packaging
