The APC’s Packaging Assessment for Sustainability forums to help signatories improve their approach to packaging assessment and share best practice.
The APC is holding Packaging Assessment for Sustainability forums on three occasions to give all signatories the opportunity to improve their approach to packaging assessment. The forums also reinforce the APC’s belief that a business-specific packaging assessment program will help organisations identify opportunities to better manage the financial, environmental and social performance of packaging.
The forums are:
Sydney 20th May 2015 08:30-13:30 – Mantra Parramatta
Adelaide 26th May 2015 08:30-13:30- National Wine Centre
Melbourne 27th May 2015 08:30-13:30- Monash Conference Centre
The three forums are identical except that Helen Lewis of Helen Lewis Consulting is speaking in Sydney/Adelaide on “Optimising the benefits of your sustainability program,” and associate professor Karli Verghese, RMIT University, is speaking in Melbourne on “Understanding the role of packaging.”
Three of the other speakers and their topics are:
The APC’s Brett Giddings will discuss, “Opportunities and improvement through packaging assessment." Developing a business-specific packaging assessment program to improve the financial, environmental and social performance of packaging."
Victor Barichello from PIQET, will discuss, “The value and benefit of streamlined LCA. The business value and benefit of streamlined lifecycle assessments for packaging and mainstreaming these within the design process."
Shaun Scallan from Planet Ark and Anthony Peyton, GreenChip, will discuss, “Packaging Recyclability Evaluation Portal.” The PREP can be used by brand owners and packaging designers to assess either existing packaging or packaging at the design stage
