This Good Practice Guide uses industry examples to show how companies can benefit from taking action to reduce packaging use and waste. The guide also explains how to assess packaging and presents suggestions for action under the headings of elimination, redesign, reduction, re-use and recycling. The companies featured in the guide have achieved significant cost savings and other benefits. For example, The Boots Group has saved £125 000/year through using re-usable transit trays instead of one-use trays for the delivery and display of sandwiches, while packaging redesign and increased process automation has allowed H & R Johnson Tiles Ltd to save around £250 000/year.
