AICC Opens Registration For Carbon Neutrality Program

Box Shipments ( U.S. Corrugated Product Shipments) Industry Shipments In Billions of Square Feet Month December 2022

AICC, The Independent Packaging Association, an- nounced open registration through July 1 for the Carbon Neutrality Program, a 12-week online course. AICC has partnered with The Packaging School to craft a sustainability program that enables AICC member companies to develop internal champions who know the dos and don’ts of sustainable packaging — ambassadors who will transform their customers’ sustainability intent into action. If a customer has ever told you, “My customers want to know our carbon footprint,” you know if you want to really impress them you need to give a two-part answer — your company’s number and how the packaging you create for them will reduce theirs. Sustainability is not a one-time discussion within the packaging development process but an important and complex conversation for every industry. The conversa- tion needs to begin during the packaging concept phase with a focus on both the beginning and end of a pack- age’s life. You can clearly show how this will greatly minimize its impact on the planet and allow you to serve your custom- ers’ brand messaging responsibly.
