What's Your Score?
 
ECRM's Sustainability Education is the leading source of information about Wal-Mart's environmental initiatives and the company's Sustainable Packaging Scorecard. Now more important than ever after the February, 2008 suggested deadline, our comprehensive classes and robust learning materials show companies how to:
  • Efficiently enter packages into the scorecard.
  • Use included single and multi-item entry tools.
  • Proactively find ways to improve package scores.
  • Find more sustainable packaging material suppliers and service providers.
Participants will also learn more about:
  • Wal-Mart’s overall sustainability
  • Technical and sustainability aspects of packaging.
  • Examples of packaging sustainability innovations.
All Sustainability Education classes and learning materials are developed and presented by Efficient Collaborative Retail Marketing (ECRM) and Packaging Knowledge Group (PKG). ECRM is a significant contributor to Wal-Mart's environmental efforts and worked with the retailer and a consortium of environmental organizations, industry experts and government agencies to help develop the Sustainable Packaging Scorecard, Package Modeling and Greener Package.

Packaging Scorecard Training
Training sessions are focused on teaching attendees how to efficiently enter packages into Wal-Mart's Sustainable Packaging Scorecard and how to use related technologies to find potential improvements.

Greener Package is an industry leading web initiative that recognizes outstanding packaging designs, includes a comprehensive product database with detailed environmental data, hosts expert-guided packaging sustainability discussion groups and has an interactive news blog that is updated several times per week. Additionally, Greener Package is building a comprehensive database of packaging raw materials and converted packaging drawn from ECRM’s Packaging MarketGate website.

Changes can dramatically affect a package's environmental impact and score on Wal-Mart's Sustainable Packaging Scorecard. With Package Modeling, companies can see the effects of changes prior to finalizing designs and find the right combination of changes that most improves a package's score.
