Packaging companies to consider the raw materials and the packaging they make or use at all stages of the process, from:

 

Design – what is the effect of the packaging on the environment?
Production – can the amount of material used in packaging be
reduced while still ensuring safety and hygiene?

Distribution – how can we reduce the amount of material used and
energy consumed in distributing the product while maintaining
product quality?

Disposal – how can we design our packaging for safe and easy
disposal by the product consumers (whether disposal be by re-use,
recycling, or recovery)?
