GreenBlue’s Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC) advances sustainability in packaging through science-based research, information, tools and efforts to help build packaging systems that encourage economic prosperity and a sustainable flow of materials. For Nina Goodrich, executive director of GreenBlue and SPC director, being at PACK EXPO allows a highly-targeted message to reach the correct audience:
“Working with organizations and associations like PMMI has been an effective way to advance the sustainable packaging discussion and help industry members embed sustainability into their operations. PACK EXPO has helped the SPC to further develop business relationships and maintain our position as a leader in packaging sustainability. We are happy to be working with PMMI again for PACK EXPO International in 2014, and look forward to seeing what is on the horizon for the packaging industry,” Goodrich says.
