Get your R’s into gear

When I was a young marketer I remember learning about the 4 P’s – product, promotion, price and place - which make up the fundamentals of the marketing mix.  I wondered though if there ought to be a fifth category – packaging? 

The Pro Carton Steering Group

The activities of Pro Carton are overseen by a Steering Group made up of experienced personnel from across the carton and cartonboard industry.

Pro Carton challenges draft EU plastics strategy

The European Commission has been working on a Plastics Strategy to tackle the problem of plastic waste in the seas and on the streets.

From the desk of the General Manager

Most of you will have seen on TV, or read about in the press, the problems that plastic packaging is causing, particular in polluting our oceans.

Commentary from the new General Manager

One of the key roles of Pro Carton is to promote the benefits of cartons & cartonboard and we could hardly have better environmental credentials. I believe however that we need to be more outspoken in communicating our message to all our key target markets. Last year we started a new PR campaign in Germany based around the principle “Cartons don’t create plastic waste” which gained a lot of media coverage. It’s this sort of slightly more provocative message that I believe we need to get across.
