【正文】 In a way, processors who already incorporate sustainability into their packages point the way for those in the planning stage and those who have not yet considered sustainability. The most notable instruction, then, is for “green” planners to understand that the environmental effort needs to be driven from the top — even if the top is WalMart. Green implementation This study shows that sustainability activity in beverage packaging during the next five years will boom. Processors who already are green will bee greener and processors in the planning stage will catchup to the greens. In other words, processors currently in the planning stage will be busier because they have more to do. By 2020, the data suggest that 90 percent of processors will implement lightweighting, use more ecofriendly materials/inks and reduce secondary packaging materials. Processors were asked to identify green initiatives in their manufacturing processes. Recycling is at the top of the list with 64 percent of the vote. The way processors describe recycling shows that cardboard, paperboard, glass, PET, cans, HDPE and shrinkwrap are understood to be recyclable materials. “95 percent of our waste materials are recovered or recycled largely through our returnable bottle or distribution system,” explains a brewery. “All recyclable materials are collected and recycled within the plant/offices. Consumer packaging materials that are recyclable have consumer labeling that indicates such on the package,” is the view from a global food and beverage manufacturer. A dairy processor respondent considers “glass as the perfect recyclable material. We use labeling that is more easily recyclable, and have reduced board materials in cases.” “Recyclable packaging has been at the forefront of what we have done since inception,” says another dairy beveragemaker. Adding, “That is why we use reusable glass bottles. We estimate more than 700 tons of waste savings since we began bottling in glass.” “We use 100 percent recycled paperboard in our cardboard sixpack, 12pack and case cartons. We recycle all the shrinkwrap and plastic used in the facility. We have won the Waste Reduction Award Program (WRAP) award seven years in a row,” indicated a brewery respondent. One copacker reports “transfer of temperatures, water reclaiming, anic materials, grinding of PET, recycling of glass, and recycling of cardboard,” in his list of green initiatives. A brewery lists “reduced energy use, reduced emissions, reduced effluent, reduced material usage, potential alternate materials and CSR tracking” as green initiatives. “Recycling water, energy conservation and reuse of recycled material in primary packages,” are the efforts of a soft drink manufacturer to reduce its environmental footprints. “Microbrew in a can to prevent glass breakage by consumers, spent grain waste goes to animal feed, looking at CO2 recapture in brew process and looking at wind for electrical generation,” captures activities at another brewery, which is looking beyond packaging to further reduce its environmental impact. Vetical integration Overall, 52 percent of respondents say they are vertically integrated. The data show an effort among these processors to move packaging manufacturing in house. Currently, 40 percent meet their packaging needs in house, but in the near future this will climb to 50 percent. Who’s in charge? Almost all processors say that packaging decisions include senior management. This recalls the fact tha
