Collaboration to reduce packaging waste
Leeds-based Samuel Grant Packaging has announced their new collaboration with the United Bank of Carbon – a registered charity run from the University of Leeds that helps forge partnerships between businesses and international conservation initiatives.
Committed to helping companies to reduce packaging waste, and therefore their environmental impact, Samuel Grant Packaging’s consultants conduct audits of companies’ complete packaging processes. In doing this, they are able to point out potential reductions in the need for packaging; suggest leaner processes; standardise products; reduce deliveries; recycle more; and reduce waste. There is no cost for the audit.
Following the audit, and subsequent reductions in both cost and CO2 emissions caused by excessive packaging and waste, the United Bank of Carbon will suggest ways in which the financial savings could be partially invested in environmental projects both in the UK and internationally. These partnerships with environmental projects can be used to offset the company’s carbon emissions, and further raise their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) credentials.
