SMEs can improve sustainable packaging practice with new project
August 30th, 2022 – The Entrepreneurs’ Programme and the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) have invited SMEs to participate in the Sustainable Packaging SMART Project, to help improve sustainable packaging practices.
Developed by the Entrepreneurs’ Programme, the project is available to eligible SMEs with revenues between $1.5 to $100 million ($750,000 for Northern Australia).
It will provide SMEs with access to industry networks, expert resources and up to $20,000 (matched) grant funding to progress their sustainable packaging goals and help meet the 2025 Sustainable Packaging targets. It also offers up to 12 months direct individual business assistance along with collective, peer group knowledge and skill development activities.
Sustainable packaging ensures that the design provides the lowest possible environmental impact compared to existing or conventional packaging. Sometimes achieving the lowest possible environmental impact can be challenging, particularly when balancing various environmental criteria with other functional and commercial considerations.
