Packaging

Packaging may be costing your business a lot of money each year. With current legislation, packaging is becoming an increasingly important issue to all businesses.

The benefits of optimising the amount and type of packaging you use are:

  • Improved business efficiency
  • Significant cost savings
  • Reduction in obligations under the UK Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 1997 (as amended)
  • Reduction of impact of the Packaging (Essential Requirements) Regulations 1999 (in addition to future potential legislation)

Envirowise can help you optimise the packaging you use which will help you save money and reduce the impact of packaging legislation on your business.

Envirowise publications provide practical help and advice on implementing change within your organisation and examples of how others have benefited - including:

Unpack those Hidden Savings: 120 Tips on Reducing Packaging Use and Costs 
This publication is full of low and no cost tips that can be used to help to cut costs and raw materials used in packaging and the handling and storage of packaging.
