World Business Council for Sustainable Development launches sustainable packaging framework

The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) recently launched SPHERE: The Packaging Sustainability Framework. SPHERE defines sustainability in packaging as maximum circularity and minimum environmental footprint, while avoiding the presence of harmful substances. The framework can be used as a benchmarking tool to identify potential hotspots across a range of packaging at the company level or to evaluate different packaging options for a specific product.
