GDR 4: Reduce Plastic Overwraps

• Reduce plastic overwraps by only using them when “necessary” (as defined by the developed guideline)

This Golden Design Rule applies to the following categories:

• Food: confectionary, crisps and snacks, canned and tinned food, beverages
• Non-food: home care, personal care, baby care

 

By removing unnecessary overwraps, companies reduce the demand for virgin plastic and reduce the absolute amount of plastic being placed on to the market.
