KPI

More than 30 companies are testing out a packaging sustainability measurement system that one group hopes becomes a worldwide standard. The system was developed through the Consumer Goods Forum’s Global Packaging Project (GPP), and includes a list of 52 indicators (and how to measure them) like weight, recycling rates, virgin content and shelf life. The indicators are divided into three main sections:

- Environmental (material waste, recycling/composting/reuse rates, recycled or renewable content)
- Economic (total cost of packaging, packaged product wastage)
- Social (packaged product shelf life, product safety, responsible workplace practices).

The GPP has also released a document (PDF) listing every indicator along with each one’s definition, metric, what to measure and what not to measure.

The basics of the system and common packaging principles are explained in the GPP’s first report, “A Global Language for Packaging and Sustainability,” which was designed to deliver a common framework and measurement system that trading partners can use to help them make better, more informed decisions about packaging and sustainability. The report was developed with input from more than 80 manufacturers, retailers, trade associations and packaging industry stakeholders.

Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Walmart, SC Johnson, General Mills, Target and Colgate-Palmolive have agreed to use it to answer questions about the sustainability of different packaging choices. The results of the pilot projects will be compiled and released at the end of this year.

超過 30家公司正在測試出一個包裝的可持續性測量系統，一組希望成為全球標準。該系統是通過消費品論壇的全球包裝項目（GPP）以及包括52個指標的列表（以及如何衡量他們）像體重，再循環率，處女內容和保質期。這些指標主要分為三個部分：
- 環境（物質的廢物，循環再造/堆肥/循環再用率，再生或可再生的內容）- 經濟（總成本的包裝，包裝產品的浪費）- 社會（包裝產品的保質期，產品安全，負責任的工作實踐）。
政府績效也發布了一個文檔（PDF）上市的每一個指標以及每個人的定義，度量，有什麼措施，什麼不該措施。
基礎知識的系統和普通包裝的原則作了說明 GPP的第一次報告，“全球語言的包裝和可持續發展”，其目的是提供一個共同的框架和測量系統，貿易夥伴可以用它來幫助他們做出更好，更明智的決策包裝和可持續性。該報告是與投入來自 80多個製造商，零售商，行業協會和包裝業有關人士。
可口可樂，百事可樂，沃爾瑪，莊臣，通用磨坊，目標和高露潔棕欖公司已經同意用它來回答有關可持續發展的選擇不同包裝。結果試點項目將編制和公佈在今年年底。
