What is sustainable packaging?

I repeat this post from January 2009. It is a good list to keep in mind. What Sustainable Packaging Design is according to SPC – Concluded in 8 points;

  • Is beneficial, safe & healthy for individuals and communities throughout its life cycle
  • Meets market criteria for performance and cost
  • Is sourced, manufactured, transported, and recycled using renewable energy
  • Maximizes the use of renewable or recycled source materials
  • Is manufactured using clean production technologies and best practices
  • Is made from materials healthy in all probable end-of-life scenarios
  • Is physically designed to optimize materials & energy
  • Is effectively recovered and utilized in biological and/or industrial cradle to cradle cycles.
