AFGC has developed the Future of Packaging White Paper, in consultation with key stakeholders including government, retailers, packaging manufacturers, recyclers and consumers, to drive more strategic and tangible action on packaging sustainability. It complements existing achievements by AFGC members through the Australian Packaging Covenant (APC) and the Packaging Stewardship Forum (PSF).
The White Paper identifies actions that will be taken by AFGC and its stakeholders to go ‘beyond compliance’ with the APC and to address broader waste and sustainability impacts and opportunities related to increasing sustainable packaging. Download the White Paper.
