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 recent 2009
DuPont Packaging Awards event. (Read

CASE STUDY
June 2009
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
* you 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

GREEN
MAY GET GOING IN 2009
The recent decision by computer-manufacturer Dell Inc.
to launch a program to significantly cut packaging size
and weight. as well as packaging costs, is setting the
tone for 2009. The "going green" groundswell is likely
to gain momentum in 2009 and beyond. partly due to the
cost savings offered by reduced, greener packaging.
The reason why Dell is looking to turn itself into the
"greenest technology company on the planet" is simple:
customer and consumer pressure. Earlier this year, the
company was subjected to an intense Blog campaign relative
to its packaging "excesses," and it wisely responded
with the current program.
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.
