Sustainable Packaging
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. If you are an NACD distributor, sign into the Members Only Section to watch our latest webinars on Sustainability in Distribution.
