Packaging Suppliers
Carbon management is now business critical.
No matter if you are a consumer goods and retail (CG&R) company buying packaging or a
manufacturing business supplying packaging, the entire value chain faces significant challenges:
-
Incoming regulatory pressure
-
Looming reputational risks
-
Increasing customer demand for sustainability transparency
-
Vital for customer retention
Sustainability within the packaging industry starts with carbon management…
In an industry that typically accounts for 30% of FMCG companies’ greenhouse gas emissions, carbon management is no longer a ‘nice thing to have’ – it’s business critical.
That’s why companies like Dufaylite are making the decision to change.
But why now?
The growing demand from customers for carbon footprint data and lifecycle analyses of products is a main driving factos for many organisaitons. Combined with the increasing pressure from regulatory bodies and government legislation, carbon management is no longer ‘optional’.
“As a company working with multi-billion-pound suppliers and customers, Dufaylite recognised the strategic opportunity to differentiate itself in a competitive market by offering comprehensive, transparent carbon data.”
There are four key carbon drivers across the packaging supply chain.
When implementing decarbonisation strategies, the packaging sector faces unique challenges due to the wide variety of products, machinery, raw materials and supply chains involved.
Raw materials (40-70%)
Product process (10-20%)
Secondary Impacts – inks, transport etc. (13-20%)
End-of-Life (EOL) Considerations (5-40%)
