Sustainability – Product Stewardship
 |
Our approach to sustainability is to look beyond the traditional line of thinking regarding the package itself. Instead we take a holistic look at the entire life cycle of our packaging. Life cycle thinking helps us to focus on actions that produce increased overall benefits from our products, contribute to long-term profitability, the natural environment and society in general. In an effort to maximise the benefits and opportunities in the development of new products, Alcan Packaging has developed ASSET™, the Alcan Sustainability Stewardship Evaluation Tool. This proprietary web-enabled operational tool compares the overall sustainability profile of potential and existing products and paves the way to new and more sustainable developments. ASSET™ evaluates the product‘s performance against 30 criteria which consider the full environmental, social and economical life cycle impacts and benefits based on a host of internationally recognized standards and research. |
