Walmart Stores Inc., Bentonville, AR, kicked off Earth Month in April with a bang to encourage its suppliers to help sustain the environment by hosting its fourth annual Packaging Sustainability Expo in Rogers, AR. Open to all packaged goods companies that supply Walmart stores, the expo was attended by the company's buyers, who visited exhibitor booths and talked with suppliers to help find sustainable packaging solutions.rnThe expo housed exhibits from more than 165 suppliers of packaging materials and services-a 13-percent jump from last year's figures. Walmart says by 2025, it aims to eliminate waste by reducing, recycling or reusing everything that comes into its 4,100 stores and reduce the amount of packaging in the supply chain by 5 percent by 2013.
