With sustainability being a significant driving force behind many of Bunzl’s initiatives, the company has recently been recognised at the 2022 Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) Awards, a prestigious industry event, for its education and implementation of sustainability initiatives.
Bunzl picked up the Packaging Future Award in Industry Education for engaging in several programs to support customer sustainability ambitions. APCO says the company’s efforts are “proactively supporting customers to improve their knowledge and use of sustainable practices and packaging to reduce overall waste”.
The work includes publishing numerous articles and fact sheets around the benefits of using sustainable packaging, providing range reviews to look for better sustainable alternatives and the implementation of sustainable ambassadors nation-wide – all in a bid to proactively educate customers around green initiatives.
“At Bunzl, we support our customers in […] reducing the impact problematic plastic packaging has on the environment.”
Felicity Kelly, Head of Sustainability at Bunzl Australia and New Zealand
The APCO Awards are held annually and celebrate the achievements of leaders in business who are developing sustainable-packaging and recycling solutions. “We’re honoured to receive this award in recognition of everyone at Bunzl who have continuously worked to engage our customers and others in our value chain to improve packaging sustainability,” says Bunzl’s Head of Sustainability Felicity King. “At Bunzl, we support our customers to make more informed decisions about the products they use and reducing the impact problematic plastic packaging has on the environment.”
