4 PACKAGING 4
5 The Fundamental Functions of Packaging Containment of the PRODUCT to avoid spills/waste and to facilitate use Protection of the PRODUCT from damage, spoilage, tampering, etc. Distribution get the PRODUCT from point A to point B Communication of PRODUCT attributes 5
6 A Brief History of Modern Packaging 1920 s-1950 s Small stores, bulk containers and high levels of customer service 6
7 A Brief History of Modern Packaging 1950 s-1980 s Canning boom of post-war era evolving to supermarket boom and the advent of plastic packaging 7
8 A Brief History of Modern Packaging Today Average stores have >10,000 items to choose from, everything from apples to X-Box games - complicating the total system and demanding more from packaging materials and technologies. 8
9 Our Philosophy on Packaging Although packaging is widely regarded as a source of waste Considerably more PRODUCT spoilage & damage would occur without it. SO it is absolutely CRITICAL to balance the need for packaging to serve its function versus the desire reduce it Strategically, and using lifecycle thinking, strive to improve packaging with focus on these 5 Rs REMOVE REDUCE RECYCLE RENEW REUSE Remove unnecessary packaging Source Reduce where possible Design for compatibility with Recycling Infrastructure Use Recycled Content where possible Use Renewable raw materials where appropriate Reduce reliance on non-renewable resources Use Returnable systems where appropriate 9
10 In April 2010, ConAgra Foods Announced Broad Sweeping Sustainability Goals: Packaging being a key contributor Remove Reduce Recycle Renew Reuse 10
