The Sustainable Packaging Coalition® (SPC)


The Sustainable Packaging Coalition® (SPC) is an industry working group dedicated to a more robust environmental vision for packaging. Through strong member support, an informed and science-based approach, supply chain collaborations and continuous outreach, we endeavor to build packaging systems that encourage economic prosperity and a sustainable flow of materials.

The SPC is a project of GreenBlue®, a nonprofit sustainability institute.


Sustainable Packaging:


Is beneficial, safe & healthy for individuals and communities throughout its life cycle;


Meets market criteria for both performance and cost;


Is sourced, manufactured, transported, and recycled using renewable energy;


Optimizes the use of renewable or recycled source materials;


Is manufactured using clean production technologies and best practices;


Is made from materials healthy in all probable end of life scenarios;


Is physically designed to optimize materials and energy;


Is effectively recovered and utilized in biological and/or industrial closed loop cycles.
