The Packaging SAM agenda

In order to effect sustainable packaging management, SABMiller

seeks to:

Adopt a holistic approach to sustainable packaging management:

▪ using cradle to cradle environmental assessments as part of

new packaging developments and upgrades.

▪ in particular ,consider the carbon footprint of each packaging

substrate and aim to protect low carbon packaging routes

such as returnable bottles, whilst encouraging new low

carbon materials.

Consider the potential for packaging light weighting and/or

elimination.

Optimise packaging for recycling and/or reuse.
