The Food Marketing Institute (FMI) recently held their inaugural Sustainability Summit in Minneapolis, MN. The three-day summit was well attended, with more than 300 registered participants representing a number of members across the packaging value chain, including: retailers of all sizes and shapes (though Wal-Mart was not represented), brand owners, packaging converters, raw material suppliers, and numerous NGOs. The theme of the summit was focused on retailers and sustainability, and the central message that rang loud and clear was simple enough: sustainability is here to stay, so retailers need to get ready.
