PIP360

PIP360’s goal is to help companies reduce the environmental impact of packaging. To achieve this goal PIP360 provides a tool for value chain members to benchmark a score. Further, the tool provides a harmonized approach and options to improve the circularity of every package sold in a region or country.

PAC Global Golden Design Rules (GDR) Consulting & Training

In 2021 the Consumer Goods Forum’s Plastic Waste Coalition finalized a set of nine Golden Design Rules (GDRs). These rules are voluntary commitments intended to help achieve the targets laid out in the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s New Plastics Economy Global Commitment.

Coalition members from around the world, with a shared revenue of more than 1 trillion euros and representing more than 10 percent of the global plastic packaging market, have committed to adopting these rules wherever possible by 2025.

PAC Global Consulting and Training explains each GDR in detail, and provides specific examples of problematic packaging. Organizations can work with the PAC Consulting team to identify the most efficient and effective ways of adhering to some or all of the GDRs. To support this work the PAC team draws on its online packaging benchmarking tool (PIP360) and its growing database of packaging innovations in design, recovery (including reuse), and material circulation (recycling and composting).
