Experience has shown that when Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, has its suppliers make small changes in packaging, the results can produce big savings.

The company’s aggressive packaging sustainability strategy was evident as it hosted nearly 200 packaging companies displaying their innovations and 2,000 attendees at the fifth annual Sustainable Packaging Expo, held April 5-7 in Rogers, AR,Electric Bus air conditioning system may be categorized by the source of electric power, by their construction type, by their utility or by the type of motion they make.

Amy Zettlemoyer-Lazar, Sam’s Club senior director of packaging and supplier diversity, explains that the expo was launched to help educate Walmart’s hundreds of buyers about the value of packaging and how controlling its use can create savings by reducing waste, while benefitting the environment. She adds that the buyers are encouraged to walk the expo with the consumer packaged goods marketers from whom they buy products to review available improvements from packaging companies. Many products on display represented secondary packaging and “retail-ready,” which emphasizes the package’s ability to protect the product while providing point-of-purchase marketing and easy stocking of shelves.

Exhibiting companies were able to display packaging that is already in use by Walmart and Sam’s Club, as well as new products they believe could have sustainable benefits for the retailer. Exhibitors were able to tell one success story about their packaging based on data submitted through the Walmart packaging scorecard. These stories explain the objective of each project, the approach and best practices employed, as well as specific data that detail benefits of their products within the Walmart system.
