Chicago—Summit Publishing, publisher of Packaging World, plans to launch the Greener Package Database on its GreenerPackage.com Web site, according to an interview with Sam’s Club Director of Packaging Amy Zettlemoyer-Lazar on greenerpackage.com.
The database, which was originally created by Walmart with software company ECRM to help the retail giant’s consumer packaged goods suppliers develop sustainable packaging, will allow packaging suppliers to enter information about their eco-friendly packaging options.
Summit plans to have the database fully operational later this year and will charge packaging suppliers for expanded listings and advertisements associated with the database.
