Tesco-led sustainability language project publishes first report

packagingnews.co.uk: "The Global Packaging Project (GPP) has published a first report on its work to deliver a common language for packaging sustainability that sets out a number of indicators and metrics for improved dialogue.

The Consumer Goods Forum's sustainability group that is sponsored by Tesco and Unilever is running GPP to 'deliver a common framework and measurement system for better decision making on packaging and sustainability'.

The report – A Global Language for Packaging and Sustainability – looks at 52 indicators for the retail and packaging supply chain such as packaged product wastage, water usage and recycled content.
The project is being led by Tesco head of packaging Sonia Raja and starts from the principle of optimising the amount of packaging used without risk of increased product waste."
