Sustainable Packaging Selection Guide 2022

Single-use plastics legislation takes effect December 20, 2022. It can be overwhelming to understand which plastic alternatives to choose to replace food packaging and foodservice products included in the bans, so we’ve developed a convenient Sustainable Packaging Selection Guide to help you better understand the alternative materials and products available, and which of those products offer the best balance between performance, quality and value.

It’s important to not only understand what material the products are made of, but how your customers will be able to responsibly dispose of them when they’re finished being used. Many products are biodegradable or compostable, but it’s important to know if the waste management facilities in your region can support these ‘End-of-Life’ requirements.

Download our Sustainable Packaging Selection Guide now to ensure you’re selecting the proper product that will meet both the functional and disposal needs of you and your customers.

Savings are a Site Audit Away

In grocery, every dollar counts. One of the greatest cost saving opportunities for banners and locals is in goods not for resale (GNFR). From packaging and labelling to sanitation, PPE, and checkout supplies, GNFR quietly drives costs and can pose compliance issues if not routinely audited. Bunzl Grocery’s Cost Out Model is designed to help businesses lower Total Cost of Acquisition (TCA) across GNFR while maintaining the efficiency of day-to-day operations.

Why Selling Sustainability Matters

Consumer awareness around the environmental impact of purchasing decisions continues to grow. According to a recent survey, 92% of shoppers say sustainability is an important factor when choosing a brand. Adapting your business’ retail packaging offerings to align with consumer values is not only key to retaining current customers, but gaining new ones.
