Wal-Mart Announces Initial Results of Packaging Scorecard
Product suppliers, like Hannay, and packaging suppliers are attending Wal-Mart’s Sustainability Packaging Exposition to learn about new sustainability packaging materials. This year, 130 packaging suppliers are showing nearly 3,000 product suppliers alternatives to traditional packaging. Packaging suppliers were chosen to exhibit based on their abilities to make packaging out of renewable resources such as corn or potatoes, reduce or replace expanded polystyrene, increase recycled content in materials, and replace clamshells composed of non-recoverable materials. The packaging suppliers will highlight improvements that have occurred over the last year as a result of the initial Exposition, and will offer suggestions to vendors on how to improve their packaging. Additionally, Wal-Mart will host a booth to demonstrate how to use the packaging scorecard and exhibit a virtual tour of the tradeshow.
