The environmental impact of packaging is often more influenced by the supply chain logistics than the materials themselves.

A top challenge for supply chain decision makers is understanding the end-to-end supply chain, which is defined in the context of the investigative research as the ability to track product and information flows across the entire supply chain. Information is one of the five key dynamic “flows” that determines the growth or decline of a company, along with materials, money, manpower and capital equipment. While data exists in every organization, it is often not fully organized or understood. Rather, it may be housed in disparate sources, data marts and warehouses, trapped in systems, and in various formats with limited context. The challenge, then, for some companies is that they may not know what data they have, where it lives, what may be useful, or how to turn it into meaningful insights that they can act upon.

Our Supply Chain Optimization service focuses on sourcing materials close to production sites, optimizing manufacturing batch sizes, and ensuring efficient transportation and distribution, including Just-In-Time (JIT) practices, reverse logistics, and end-of-life management whenever possible. We engage with our global supply chain partners to achieve the quality products and services clients expect and our quality commitments are a continuous process where each stage within the supply chain of a product or service lifecycle must meet prescribed specifications to deliver quality packaging. In a resource-constrained world, brands must use innovation as a driver to get the most of out of their supply chains. Optimized chains conserve resources, increase energy efficiency, and inspire consumers to reuse and recycle.
