Concern about the harm that industrial activities may cause the
environ ment, means that all are now being scrutinised to assess
their impact. Packaging is no exception. It is now high on the
political agenda, in terms of the environmental issues which are
targeted for immediate attention in industrially developed
countries and is often perceived as a wasteful drain on
non-sustainable resources and an unnecessary indulgence on the part
of affluent societies. This book seeks to understand and respond to
the variety of pressures packaging now faces, and to review and
correct the many misconceptions that exist in relation to its
environmental impacts. It has been structured to address the
topical and critical areas for attention; it identifies and
explains what are seen to be the main issues and discusses the
responses being made to them in different parts of the world. More
specifically, this book is intended to: * clarify the facts and
dispel many of the myths surrounding the environmental aspects of
packaging * explain and emphasise packaging's essential role in the
workings of human society * review legislative and regulatory
developments, the trends and the extent to which they are
converging * consider what constitutes environmentally responsible
packaging manufacture * discuss and compare the relative
environmental merits and differ ences between the various packaging
materials and systems * address the requirements for identifying
and controlling manufac turing impacts and the role of
environmental auditing in this process
