AICC Offering 12-Week Carbon Neutrality Program

AICC, The Independent Packaging Association, an- nounced a partnership with The Packaging School to craft a sustainability program that enables AICC member com- panies to develop internal champions who know the dos and don’ts of sustainable packaging. Andrew Hurley, Associate Professor of Packaging Sci- ence, Clemson University, will lead the 12-week Carbon Neutrality Program set for January 15 through April 8, 2024. Customers need to know more than the fact that you provide renewable and recyclable products. They want to know the details and the numbers. That means that you need someone to track the numbers in operations, and someone to explain how your company is sustainable, on multiple fronts to the customer. The online four-phase program will allow members to learn key terminology to speak the language of sustain- ability with colleagues and customers, construct UN-based sustainability targets and goals, develop sustainable sys- tem designs, measure the carbon footprint of packaging and more. AICC is offering a two-person price ($4,000) or one person per member company ($2,500) for the training se- ries. Visit aiccbox.org to register or contact Taryn Pyle at tpyle@aiccbox.org.
