Australian Packaging Covenant
We have been a signatory to the Australian Packaging Covenant (APC) since 2013. The APC aims to change the culture of business to design more sustainable packaging, increase recycling rates and reduce packaging litter.
Our commitments
As part of our business's sustainability strategy and driven by our membership to the Australian Packaging Covenant we are committed to:
- Having a strategy to improve packaging sustainability.
- Having targets that are specific, measurable and time-based.
- Integrating our packaging sustainability strategy into business policies and processes.
- Publicly reporting progress towards packaging sustainability.
Additionally, we have made the following commitments for our packaging design and procurement:
- Reviewing our packaging with reference to the Sustainable Packaging Guidelines.
- Reducing packaging weight and/or optimising packaging material efficiency.
- Incorporating or optimising recycled and/or renewable content for our packaging.
- Having our primary packaging be recoverable through existing post-consumer recovery systems.
- Labelling our packaging with disposal or recovery information.
Sustainable Packaging Guidelines Label Checklist
As part of our membership to the APC we have implemented a range of initiatives to help our clients achieve their packaging sustainability goals. This is driven by our Sustainable Packaging Guidelines Label Checklist tool, which has been customised specifically for labels. Contact us for a free label audit to learn more about our checklist.
