Walmart Sustainable Packaging Playbook published

In October 2016 Walmart published the Walmart Sustainable Packaging Playbook. The playbook provides an overview of sustainable packaging best practices for suppliers interested in improving and innovating packaging. While the focus is on consumer-facing packaging, practices may impact or also be applied across the entire packaging system.
Four priorities are given: optimize design (protect the product, reduce materials); source sustainably (maximize recycled and sustainably sourced renewable content, enhance material health); support recycling (design for recycling, communicate recyclability) and deliver everyday low cost and performance (meet business requirements).
