ISO world standards on packaging and environment published

17 January 2013

The ISO world standards on packaging and the environment, ISO 18601-ISO 18606, have been published. The standards address Optimization of the packaging system, Reuse, Material recycling, Energy recovery and Composting, as well as the way these aspects of each package are related to each other before and after its use. ISO 18601 specifies requirements and procedures for these standards.
Every responsible retailer, manufacturer and packaging supplier can implement the standards in their management system and thereby take responsibility for their specific part in the sustainable innovation of packages, packaged products, retail and recycling. You can find out more during the NVC-PEC one-day European Course Sustainable Innovation in Packaging on 28 February 2013.
