Walmart Upgrading Packaging Scorecard
 Print this article | Send to Colleague
Walmart, Bentonville, Ark., has announced changes to its Packaging Scorecard. The updated scorecard will include country of origin, recovery by material and package (as opposed to the existing material only measure), and recycled content, customized by package to some industry standards. Currently, no data are collected for the country of origin. Specifics on data collection are still in discussion. Initial recommendations for new recovery data by material and package propose using pre-populated appropriate data by material, region, format, and selling unit or transport, which will replace the use of pre-populated EPA data. The Phase II proposal offers two options for collection of recycled content: pre-populated industry data or specific packaging component data. More information on the Walmart scorecard is available online.
