Publication of the weight of private label packaging
The company publishes the total weight of containers and packaging of its own brand and breaks it down by type of material
About the data
This metric is based on GRI 301-1 Materials used by weight or volume, whereby companies are required to measure and report the total weight or volume of materials used to produce and package the organisation's main products and services during the reporting period.
We value in this metric the information on at least the Materials used in own-brand products and packaging declared to the collective systems of extended producer responsibility (ECOEMBES, ECOTIC, ECOPILAS, SIGAUS, AMBILAMP, etc.). It is a way of rewarding at least those companies that provide this type of information, however we will ask in future evaluations that companies have centralised information on the quantity and type of materials used in all their own branded products. Some companies are already working along these lines, such as Eroski, which states that it is developing a process to compile details of own-brand packaging materials in its systems and provide this information in future reports.
