Global materials science leader Avery Dennison Corporation is transitioning to a bespoke carbon footprint tool created in collaboration with the Carbon Trust to continue its drive towards transparency and continuous improvement in environmental impact measurement and reporting on its products.

The Carbon Trust will present information and insights with the use of verified primary data from Avery Dennison’s suppliers and operations to accurately measure the impact of current and future products. It will also enable Avery Dennison to advance efforts in meeting its 2030 sustainability goals and provide more certainty for guidance on customer product selections and new product development.

The Carbon Trust is intended to provide information on the carbon and water footprint specific to Avery Dennison’s label products. With key learnings and takeaways from the tool’s initial implementation, it will progressively broaden its data with additional product information availability.

“As a company, we’ve monitored and assessed the sustainability of our products for the past 10 years, and this is another important step forward in our goal to provide the most accurate information to our customers,” says Claudia Mariconda, global director Sustainability, Materials Group, Avery Dennison. “By implementing the Carbon Trust tool, we facilitate further transparency and offer customers a more trustworthy assessment of our label products’ impacts.”

The Carbon Trust is a global climate consultancy driven by the mission to accelerate the move to a decarbonized future. It has been pioneering decarbonization for more than 20 years for businesses, governments, and organizations around the world. Drawing on a network of over 300 experts internationally, the Carbon Trust guides organizations through their journey to Net Zero.

Avery Dennison Corporation (NYSE: AVY) is a global materials science and digital identification solutions company that provides branding and information labeling solutions, including pressure-sensitive materials, radio-frequency identification (RFID) inlays and tags, and a variety of converted products and solutions.

The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.

A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.

As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
