Apparel packaging works hard for consumers. It delivers information, communicates brand qualities, and helps protect product quality and integrity. Avery Dennison, the leading manufacturer of label and packaging material, is collaborating with retailers, brands and manufacturers to make apparel packaging work even harder by making it more sustainable. Here’s how:
Reduce material use
By investing in research and development along with product innovation, the amount of materials required for packaging and labelling can be simplified and reduced. This reduction can be done while still improving the overall performance of packaging design.
Incorporate recycled materials
Avery Dennison is constantly expanding the number and type of packaging solutions that incorporate recycled plastics and other materials.
Responsibly source raw materials
Avery Dennison has established rigorous company-wide targets for sourcing and using certified raw materials, including FSC-certified paper.
Employ life cycle analysis
The Avery Dennison Greenprint tool provides life cycle assessment data in six categories (fossil material, trees, water, energy, greenhouse gases and waste) to help our customers assess the impact of their packaging choices.
Promote fair labor standards
The company is committed to working with businesses and supplier partners to promote fair labor standards throughout its global organization and supply chain.
