Walmart Sustainability
Packaging Expo: zero tolerance for greenwash
Preparing to exhibit for the fifth consecutive
year at Walmart's annual Sustainability Packaging
Expo, packaging suppliers have become increasingly
savvy in conveying their green messages.
That's according to Robert Parvis, Sam's Club
manager of House Brands Packaging, who spoke
with GreenerPackage.com, along with Ronald Sasine,
senior director of Packaging, Private Brands
for Walmart Stores, about the retailer's upcoming
event, scheduled for April 6-7 at the John Q.
Hammons Convention Center, in Bentonville, AR.
"Their message is becoming more and more focused,"
Parvis says. "One of the things we are really
pushing is clear communication, especially around
anything related to sustainability claims."
Sasine agrees, "The packaging suppliers are
learning the language of Walmart, and they are
learning to engage and discuss packaging with
Walmart buyers and merchants in a way that,
in those early years, was much more difficult
for them."

DuPont Co. backing
drive for global sustainability standards
What criteria makes a package
"sustainable" -- carbon footprint? Recyclability?
Source reduction? Right now the definition
depends on the companies involved. But
DuPont Co. is throwing its weight behind
a push to have global sustainability
standards. The company revealed its
support for the standards as part of
its 2009 DuPont Packaging Awards
event.

CASE STUDY
Subject: Litewrapper pallet wrap system
Hello.
We are a logistics world company and
we want to receive information about
your dispenser of film Litewrapper model
DP212
Please, could you send us a complete
information about the product, price,
term of supply, etc?.
Best Regards.
Vincente
Contract Manager
Logistics E.
Making Business Flow
Dear Vincente,
Thank you very much for your inquiry
and interest in our Litewrapper system.
The key benefits of the systems are:
* You can wrap a pallet in less than
one minute
* ou walk forward, so you see where
you walk (safe) and you only need one
hand
* you do not need to bend, so no more
back injuries or dizzy operators.
* compared to conventional 23 micron film the film reduction will be 70% in
Weight
* the tension on the pallets is regulated
by the dispenser, not by the operator.
So no matter who or when the pallet
is wrapped, the quality of wrapping
is constant
* stronger film, no "neck-down" of the
film (film will not become more narrow
while wrapping) makes it possible to
wrap your pallets BETTER with LESS turn
around the pallets.
* more pallets wrapped with 1 roll of
film
Could you inform me about the quantity
of pallets you wrap by hand in your
operation?
Then we can offer you a solution, that
will offer you time and money savings.
And you will reduce waist (waste surely?)
also!
Best regards,
René

In 2009 and beyond, green is going to not only
be good, but likely essential, for a product
to be successfully marketed.

Wal-Mart chief pledges higher
prices for sustainable suppliers
The chief executive of the world's biggest retailer
yesterday promised to favor suppliers providing
high quality and ethically sourced products.
Wal-Mart will launch a major retail-industry effort
to improve social, ethical and environmental standards
in the factories of its suppliers, CEO and president
Lee Scott told a meeting of store managers.
"The drive will see the retailer favor - and in
some cases even pay more - for suppliers that meet
our standards and share our commitment to quality
and sustainability".
"Paying more in the short term for quality will
mean paying less in the long term as a company.
Higher quality products will mean better value,
fewer problems, fewer returns and greater trust
with our customers," Scott told the audience.
But the firm will also raise the bar for suppliers
on sustainable sourcing, putting pressure on them
to provide evidence that they are meeting ethical
and quality criteria.

I'd like to talk a little bit about our operations
also. We've also put in quite a bit or are in the
process of adding capacity in some of our businesses.
In stretch film, by the end of February, we will
be making a product called Pre-stretch, it's a specialty
film, it completes our product line. It's the only
product that we're missing in that marketplace.
