Sustainable Packaging involves a conscious decision by brand owners to evaluate the complete life cycle of a product's packaging—from design and material use through distribution and end-of-life scenarios—to maximize cost-effectiveness, while at the same time minimizing packaging’s impact on the environment.
NACD member companies understand the importance of Sustainable Packaging and its global and environmental impact.
