Choose sustainable packaging!

Consumers are increasingly favouring sustainable products over others, leading to increased pressure on companies and their value chains to select suppliers with environmentally and socially responsible practices. To demonstrate their commitment to sustainability, companies have a range of tools at their disposal that allow them to stay on their customers’ radar.

In the area of packaging, for any area, the IFS (International Featured Standards) stand out, applicable to all stakeholders involved in the supply chain who want to ensure the quality and safety of food, non-food products and related services, and the choice of FSC® certified material which, among other things, has the advantages of guaranteeing sustainable and responsible management of forest resources, helping to ensure the long-term availability of raw materials for forest-based industries, and easier access to the ecomarket and increasingly demanding markets.

As for the food sector, there are tools such as BRC Packaging, applied to producers of packaging intended to be in direct contact with food products, requiring them to define appropriate control systems to ensure food safety, and FSSC22000, for organisations that process or manufacture packaging for direct or indirect contact with food.

APCER offers these and other solutions for companies operating in the packaging and value chain sector.
