National PaCkaging covenant GOALS
The SCRC in recognition of the importance
of voluntary producer responsibility schemes, has become a signatory
to the NPC and is keen to work with industry to ensure that the
current version of the Packaging Covenant remains voluntary.
The SCRC will be publishing its action plan in the next few months.
In the meantime though the Steel Can Recycling Council can help
brandowners working towards their own action plans.
| How the SCRC can
support brandowners |
| |
|
| 1. |
The SCRC undertakes research
annually to examine the following: |
| |
• Consumer attitudes to recycling
• Bin audits to establish which types of steel packaging
consumers are better at recycling and which ones more frequently
are sent to landfill
• Supermarket aisle research to monitor the use of recycling
information on pack
The results of these research strands are available to brandowners
free of charge. |
| 2.
|
The SCRC can provide brandowners
with technical and design support for including the recyclable
steel logo on packaging. |
|
| 3.
|
The SCRC can work with
brandowners to raise awareness of the recyclability of steel
packaging using brandowner collateral and media. |
|
| 4. |
Brandowners including goals
around the use of the recyclable steel logo will gain easy wins
towards their action plans. |
