FMCG Packaging

Coles’ Together to Zero waste ambition sees the supermarket continue to work with industry partners, suppliers, and customers to reduce waste and unnecessary plastics. 

Scoops from Coles Tropical Paradise and Coles Ultra Original and Sensitive laundry powders will be removed from April 1.

The new scoopless laundry powders will be specially marked with ‘Reducing our Impact’, with the packaging featuring a light green lid, ensuring customers can easily spot the packs. 

EPL today announced a major conversion of a leading brand partner Vicco Labs to 100% recyclable packaging. Vicco labs and EPL have jointly worked to convert Vicco's 'Turmeric' range of products to recyclable Platina tubes. 

Platina 250, 300 & 350 Lamitubes have been recognized by the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR), USA as meeting or exceeding the strict APR HDPE critical guidance criteria on recyclability. 

Activists want to put an end to this and are calling for a right to repair. Now the European Union has decided to introduce a mandatory repair label for manufacturers on the packaging of electronic devices.

Fast-moving consumer goods company Procter & Gamble India turned ‘plastic waste neutral’ in fiscal 2022, after it collected, processed, and recycled over 19,000 MT of post-consumer plastic packaging waste that exceeded the amount of plastic packaging used in its products sold in a year.

Several large FMCG companies including Hindustan Unilever Ltd., Dabur India and now P&G India, have achieved this feat.

Keurig Dr Pepper aims to be net water positive, or replenish more water than it uses, by 2050. The company set the new target, made on World Water Day, as part of its "Drink Well. Do Good." corporate responsibility commitment. 

CPGs like Keurig Dr Pepper have been continuing to work on improving their sustainability profile through commitments like water reduction goals and recyclable packaging, to offset the significant environmental footprint of food and beverage manufacturing.
