Food & Drink Federation issues A Sustainability Checklist for Packaging
FDF Issue Sustainable Packaging Checklist for People, Planet and Profit
The Checklist aims to help companies to choose and optimise their packaging so
that it contributes to a net improvement in the use of resources, makes supply
chains more resource-efficient, achieves a high level of safety and hygiene, meets
consumers’ needs and preferences and addresses environmental issues.
It has been written primarily for users of packaging placing products on to the UK market but
some questions may need to be shared with other partners in the supply chain.
It also aims to stimulate innovation in the design of packaged product systems
and encourage continuous improvement to help companies become more
responsive to the demands of rapidly changing lifestyles and demographics.
A full copy of the Checklist can be found here.
