Packaging

Shipping and Distribution Partnership

The shipping and distribution partnership is a voluntary effort created to encourage businesses to adopt more efficient packaging and distribution systems that save money while preventing waste and improving operations. A workshop that explored these topics was held at San Jose State University. There are numerous case studies that demonstrate how companies can save money and keep packaging out of landfills.
