Greener Package Database Entry
(Looking for info on the Walmart Sustainable Packaging Expo?)
Are you a packaging supplier who is ready to submit your data to the Greener Package database? Or do you have data from the ECRM Packaging.Marketgate database that you'd like to update now that it has moved to Greener Package?
You've come to the right place. We encourage you to start by downloading the questionnaires in advance to familiarize yourself with the questions we're asking.
Questionnaire PDF 1 - company profile, raw materials, converted packages
Questionnaire PDF 2 -- manufacturing locations, packaging services
Guidelines to Sustainability Claims
Third party review explained
Enhanced listings
Questionnaire feedback form -- we want to hear from you!
Okay, ready to submit or edit your data? The database is now in beta, open to packaging suppliers to submit their data.
The process for submitting data is as follows:
1. Download the questionnaires above so you can get familiar with the questions we're asking--both on packaging performance and on packaging sustainability.
2. When you're ready to start submitting data, click the orange button above.
3. Follow the prompts to create a new user account in the database system we use, which is called mBlast.
4. Enter your company name. If your company already exists in our system, you'll simply select your existing company record.
5. After a few more screens, you'll arrive at a listing summary screen where you can submit up to FOUR kinds of listings:
• Company profile
• Raw material or converted package listing
• Packaging service listing
• Manufacturing location listing
6. If you had data in the ECRM Marketgate system, your company's data will show up on the listing summary screen (the step above). Scroll to the bottom of the listing summary screen to see your data.
NOTE FOR RAW MATERIAL AND CONVERTED PACKAGES. If you have 40 or 50 different versions of a product that will end up having the same exact answers to our questions for each product, except for maybe a size or color or grade, then you can enter it as ONE LISTING and just note the range of sizes and styles in two fields intended for this purpose.
