At FPP we consider the sharing of content and knowledge to be one of our principal responsibilities. We’ve created FPP Checkout to allow us to deliver against this.

The purpose of this platform is to simplify the consumption of content. With so many sources in both the offline and online world, it’s easy to fall behind on essential reading. Checkout finds relevant, up-to-date information and delivers it to you in one easily-accessible environment. What’s more, we also use Checkout to provide FPP category analysis and opinion whenever and wherever relevant.

Checkout is a platform designed with you in mind. And that doesn’t just apply to the content we deliver, but also the way in which we deliver it. We provide information that isn’t just relevant to the industry as a whole, but relevant to you as an individual.

If you click on ‘My Account’, you’ll be able to select the categorical content that is of interest to you. This will allow us to prioritise the content that we know you like.

We use a number of sources for the articles featured on Checkout. Whilst we won’t necessarily cover all of the publications you access, below is a list of the most common to try and give you as much as possible in one place:

On-the-go plastic-free straw ‘first’ picked up by Nestlé

Packaging supplier SIG has claimed an industry first with the launch of a sustainable, plastic-free straw for its on-the-go soft drink cartons.

Already in use by Nestlé, the new straw is made of paperboard from Forest Stewardship Council-certified forests and other controlled sources, while its wrapper is designed to reduce litter by remaining attached to the pack to be recycled along with the rest of the carton.

It is the latest of SIG’s efforts to use more renewable materials – as part of its Way Beyond Good sustainability initiative. The packaging supplier continued to invest in “new ways to apply this alternative straw solution to a wider variety of packaging formats” it said.

SIG has seen “an opportunity to address concerns about marine litter and offer added value to our customers by helping them meet consumer and regulatory demand to scrap plastic straws” said the company’s chief market officer, Markus Boehm.

“We are committed to improving the environmental performance of our packaging and addressing the critical issue of single-use plastics is an important part of that,” said Michael Schwan, Nestlé manufacturing manager RTD – dairy strategic business unit.
