What are the Sustainable Packaging Guidelines (SPG’s) and how do they relate to packaging?

Detpak understands the importance, functional and sustainability requirements of packaging in businesses.

Here are some examples of how Detpak provides you with sustainable choices with regard to packaging design.

Detpak’s dedicated packaging designers utilise the APCO Sustainable Packaging Guidelines (SPGs) and eliminate unnecessary material in all product designs creating packaging for a better tomorrow.

The SPGs are a comprehensive, publicly available resource used to assist in the sustainable design and manufacture of packaging in Australia and are aligned with sustainable packaging guidelines published by other countries.

The purpose of the SPGs are to assist organisations to integrate ten Sustainable Packaging Principles into their operations. These Principles have been designed to optimise outcomes for packaging functionality and sustainability.

What is the waste management hierarchy and how does it relate to packaging?  

The Waste Management Hierarchy is an order for preference for the management of waste, with avoidance being the most preferred option and disposal being the least. 

Detpak understands and firmly applies the Waste Management Hierarchy – prioritising reduce and re-use before recycling or composting (organics recycling) in all packaging designs. 

Detpak source material and operate responsibly, providing customers with responsible packaging choices that won’t cost the earth.  

Detpak’s dedicated packaging designers utilise the APCO Sustainable Packaging Guidelines (SPGs) and eliminate unnecessary material in all product designs.
