The report was developed with the help of 84 stakeholders, including manufacturers, retailers, packaging converters, trade associations, academics and consultants. Leading the effort were The European Organization for Packaging and the Environment (EUROPEN), the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) and the Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC).
“This is the first of many planned outcomes from the Sustainability Workstream in the Consumer Goods Forum,” said Sir Terry Leahy, Tesco CEO, who co-sponsors this program with Paul Polman, CEO of Unilever. “It’s an ìmportant first step, and future work will build on the foundation it provides. We look forward to many more successful projects emerging from this program.”
