| Résumé : |
Packaging is a term used to describe any material used for the containment, protection, handling, delivery and presentation of goods (from raw materials to processed goods) from the producer to the end-user or consumer. The word 'packaging' is used to describe materials that contain or protect goods received, are used with in-house transport of part processed goods and waste, final delivery of processed products, and identification. Cost savings, increasing environmental awareness, and recent European legislation is proving key driver for many companies to address packaging use, reuse and waste. Even if a compagny is not obligated, it will both affect and be affected by others in a supply chain. Reducing the quantities of packaging and cutting associated costs are therefore issues that are applicable to all companies.
In the leather industry, the problems associated with packaging are greater with goods received with packaging are greater with goods received and in-house management, than in the area of dispatch. Packaging waste is also part of dispatch. Packaging waste is also part of the larger waste generation problem, but many options are open to reduce the effects of redundant packaging and save maney.
When looking for savings ; work through the stages of the waste hierarchy : elimination ; reduction ; reuse ; recycling ; and finally, disposal. |
