Sustainable Packaging Brief: Wal-Mart, Safeway, Dr. Pepper
The five largest grocery chains in Canada will require their suppliers to shift to PET for thermoformed clamshell packaging, reports Waste & Recycling News . The move – aimed at increasing recycling and simplifying the product stream – is being championed by The Retail Council of Canadian Grocers. Grocery store chains involved in the project include Wal-Mart Canada Corp., Loblaws Inc., Safeway Canada, Metro and Sobeys.
On a smaller scale, but with a more radical anti-packaging aim than the Canadian shops above, a planned grocery store in Austin, Texas, has announced that when it opens it will eliminate all packaging from its store , reports Treehugger . In.gredients ( pictured ) also plans to be zero-waste, and, like Austin-based Whole Foods, will focus on local and organic produce. Products will be sold in bulk-buy containers only, with customers encouraged to bring in their own containers to transport the goods home.
Soft drink company Dr. Pepper Snapple Group Inc . saved 12.5 million pounds of plastic last year by using more recycled PET and lighter packaging , reports TriplePundit . The company says in its first corporate social responsibility report that it has the lightest two-liter bottle in the industry. Within the next five years the drinks giant also plans to replace 60,000 vending machines with Energy Star rated equipment.
Sustainable consulting firm EarthShift has launched a simplified life cycle assessment tool that evaluates the environmental impacts of packaging. PackageSmart enables packaging engineers and designers to integrate environmental assessment early into the design process when leverage is high and the cost of change is still low, EarthShift says. A free two week trial is now available through the EarthShift website.
Greenstar Recycling and Vadxx Energy have signed a memorandum of understanding to form a joint venture to convert recovered plastic into synthetic crude oil. Vadxx manufactures synthetic crude oil and natural gas by using raw materials consisting of petroleum-based plastics in a process called thermal depolymerization. Greenstar and Vadxx expect that the joint venture will begin producing crude oil in mid-2012 in Ohio.
Renewable chemicals firm Gevo Inc . and its customer, plastics and chemicals producer Toray , have announced that they have successfully produced fully renewable, bio-based PET. The companies now plan to establish a commercial-scale manufacturing process.
