Wal-Mart encourages sustainability packaging

Walmart recently announced that they want their vendors to think differently about how they package their products and are investing $500 million to encourage the change. They have come up with a Packaging Scorecard for their vendors to take to "rate Suppliers". This move will most likely cost consumer goods companies millions as they re-tool their factories to comply. Can sustainability initiatives like these work, or will they encourage companies to Greenwash their products? Next week I will take the free seminar and report back. Stay tuned. . .
