Walgreens Boots Alliance's Progress in Sustainable Packaging
NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / April 16, 2024 / The issue of packaging waste continues to be a concern for our industry. At Walgreens Boots Alliance, we are doing what we can to help address the negative impacts packaging waste has on the environment. We have made substantial strides around reducing single-use plastic components in our packaging and have switched to alternatives, where feasible. Our efforts to make packaging more sustainable span product design, industry collaborations, customer education, improved supplier data collection and more.

Measuring Our Progress
衡量我們的進展
WBA's owned brands continued to make progress against our targets throughout fiscal 2023. Through the implementation and execution of our tools and programs, we engaged with more suppliers and are increasingly proactive in reducing our impact through our sourcing practices.
在整個 2023 財年，WBA 的自有品牌繼續在實現我們的目標方面取得進展。通過實施和執行我們的工具和計劃，我們與更多的供應商進行了合作，並越來越積極地通過我們的採購做法減少我們的影響。
Notable efforts and achievements include:
顯著的努力和成就包括：
- Boots and No7 Beauty Company brands have expanded the number of products across categories produced from recycled content, recyclable or natural materials, including reusable makeup remover pads, cleansing pads, reusable baby wipes, lipsticks and compacts as well as eyewear brand, Botaniq.
- To support National Recycling Week (Oct. 17 - 23) in the UK, Boots ran an awareness campaign on the low recycling rates for bathroom (50 percent) versus kitchen (90 percent) products and shared take-home recycling kits and leaflets with tips along with other amplification tactics to maximize the campaign's effectiveness and staying power.
- Boots和No7 Beauty Company品牌擴大了由回收成分、可回收或天然材料生產的產品類別的產品數量，包括可重複使用的卸妝墊、潔面墊、可重複使用的嬰兒溼巾、口紅和粉餅以及眼鏡品牌Botaniq。
- 爲了支持英國全國回收周（10月17日至23日），Boots開展了一項宣傳活動，宣傳衛浴（50％）與廚房（90％）產品的回收率相比較低，並分享了帶回家的回收套件和傳單，以及其他擴大策略，以最大限度地提高該活動的效果和持久力。
Product Labeling
產品標籤
WBA supplier agreements specify that suppliers must meet regulatory requirements for labeling of ingredients on our owned brand products. Under the minimum standard requirements, new and refreshed WBA-owned brand items must be reviewed to carry a How2Recycle label for U.S. products or an On-Pack Recycling Label (OPRL) for UK products. We work with the Sustainable Packaging Coalition on implementing the How2Recycle label on an increasing number of our products. These labels are designed to provide customers with clear advice on how to recycle. In the UK, WBA has representation on the OPRL technical advisory committee, working on industry-wide solutions involving recycling labeling. Through our Minimum Sustainability Requirements and Labeling standards, Boots and No7 Beauty Company have mandated the use of "Do Not Flush" labeling on products which have the highest risk of being inappropriately flushed.
WBA 供應商協議規定，供應商必須滿足監管要求，在我們自有品牌產品上貼上成分標籤。根據最低標準要求，必須對全新和更新的 WBA 自有品牌商品進行審查，使其帶有美國商品的 How2Recycle 標籤或英國商品的包裝回收標籤 (OPRL)。我們與可持續包裝聯盟合作，在越來越多的產品上使用How2Recycle標籤。這些標籤旨在爲客戶提供有關如何回收的明確建議。在英國，WBA在OPRL技術諮詢委員會中有代表，負責制定涉及回收標籤的全行業解決方案。根據我們的最低可持續發展要求和標籤標準，Boots和No7 Beauty Company已強制要求在不當沖洗風險最高的產品上使用 “請勿沖洗” 標籤。
