POC launches Sustainable Packaging Guide for the industry
Products of Change teamed up with its community of members to launch a brand-new Sustainable Packaging Guide, available free to all POC members via the Resources page on the POC website. This industry-agnostic guide brings together the best thinking, data, and tools in one easy-to-use resource, designed to help businesses of all sizes rethink their packaging strategies through a sustainability lens.
Crafted with input from industry leaders including The LEGO Group, Magic Light, Tesco, and the POC Advisor community, the new guide offers practical insights to help you:
- Understand the environmental impact of your packaging choices;
- Align with the POC Industry Framework for sustainable transformation;
- Explore real-world alternatives and emerging materials;
- Drive better packaging design – without the guesswork.

Through POC’s presence at Licensing Expo, its Sustainable Packaging Guide, and its ongoing packaging workstream webinar series, POC continues to support the industry on its packaging optimisation journey.
