Pet Sustainability Coalition launches packaging legislation tracker
PSC is also looking to expand the tool to cover non-EU countries, Australia, and New Zealand later this year
The Pet Sustainability Coalition (PSC) has announced the launch of its new Packaging Legislation Tracker.
The tool offers an immediate overview of the latest regulations, broken down by region, to help forecast potential increases in costs.
The streamlined tool provides specific information about each regulation, how it affects operations, and where to find more information.
It outlines the name of the regulation, the purpose and type, the date of enactment and enforcement, whether there are on-pack labelling implications, the type of business/sector most impacted, the material class affected, and where to find further information.
The tracker includes a comprehensive overview of over 100 pertinent regulations in four key regions.
These regions include the U.S. which includes state-by-state data, Canada, the United Kingdom and the European Union (EU).
PSC is also looking to expand the tool to cover non-EU countries, Australia, and New Zealand later this year.
Ali Boden, PSC’s senior packaging program manager, said: “This tool provides a comprehensive list of packaging-related regulations for the pet industry and can help companies piece together how it could apply to pet businesses and the type of packaging they work with.
“This streamlined approach means you spend less time researching and more time implementing strategic changes that help you reduce costs, stay ahead of compliance needs, and identify opportunities for sustainable growth.”
Boden added: “Investing in sustainable packaging is a dual win: it helps you comply with increasingly strict regulations and positions your brand as a strategic leader in the sustainability movement. This isn’t just about compliance; it’s about being a part of the broader solution to environmental challenges, attracting eco-conscious consumers and employees alike.”
