DDL Part of U.S. Delegation at ISO/TC 122/SC 4 "Packaging and Environment" Meeting 12.10-12.11

I will be traveling to Stockholm, Sweden next week to represent DDL as part of the US delegation heading to Stockholm, Sweden next week for the ISO/TC 122/SC 4 “Packaging and Environment” meeting.

ISO TC 122/ SC 4 "Packaging and Environment" Meeting

ISO/TC 122/SC 4 “Packaging and Environment” will strive to develop ISO-standards to harmonize environmental aspects on packaging that:

• Reduce the environmental impact of packaging

• Minimize the risk of technical barriers to trade

• Do not conflict with existing standards

The environmental impact of packaging is debated all over the world. Companies, consumers, environmental interests groups and regulatory authorities all have opinions and agendas on the subject. Global ISO-standards on packaging and the environment would provide a common reference that benefit the environment and facilitate international trade.

I will be sharing what I learned when I get back and will write about how the meeting went.
