Sites and operations around the world are already benefiting from the BRCGS Global Standard Packaging Materials with industry adoption and use of the standard increasing by 8% year-on-year. Now, there are over 6,200 certificated sites in over 91 countries around the world.

Why choose the BRCGS Global Standard Packaging Materials?

A key reason is that it specifies the product safety, quality and operational criteria, so a site or operation can fulfil its obligations, from legal compliance through to protection of the consumer. As the most established and trusted packaging certification programme, it is often the preferred choice across brands and specifiers. Issue 7 brings the requirements up to date to reflect current industry trends and best practice for example, single use disposable products and product safety culture. 

Independent research, carried out by the University of Birkbeck, demonstrates that organisations operating to BRCGS standards improve food safety, operational efficiency, commercial growth, improved profitability and broad-based innovation.

BRCGS Packaging Materials certification also helps packaging companies to adapt to changing market forces. It supports sites to rise to the challenges associated with the sustainability drive, changing packaging technology solutions, allergen management and meeting legal and regulatory requirements.
