“…Different stakeholders are motivated by different driving forces to participate in packaging waste reduction. To manage packaging waste, different stakeholders' roles should be taken into consideration, for instance, consumers' participation in post‐consumption recycling (Do Valle et al, 2004), corporate's operational management (Palmer et al, 2021; Satapathy, 2017; White, Sarpong, & Ndrecaj, 2015) and governments' regulations (Bell & Todoran, 2022; Friedrich, 2020; Gutberlet, 2008; Martinho et al, 2017; Pazienza & De Lucia, 2020; Tencati et al, 2016). From the consumers' viewpoint, recycling convenience and the proximity of recycling facilities significantly affect recycling participation (Do Valle et al, 2004).…”

Sustainable packaging is a pivotal aspect of sustainable development, involving multi‐faceted issues such as stakeholder management and environmental policy compliance. Despite the efforts to find packaging solutions, the extant literature is largely fragmented, featuring a high level of heterogeneity among studies that spread across different disciplines, with the majority examining important packaging issues in isolation. A study that systematically consolidates findings of different important areas of sustainable packaging implementation is lacking. This challenges companies' adoption of research findings in business strategy development. Thus, this paper conducts a systematic literature review combining keyword co‐occurrence analysis, thematic analysis and qualitative content analysis to uncover major research domains, consolidate important findings and reveal unsolved research gaps, which are crucial to advancing sustainable packaging management. The findings reveal four major research domains: (1) sustainable packaging materials and properties, (2) management practices of sustainable packaging, (3) consumer behaviours towards sustainable packaging and (4) packaging waste management. Drawing on the natural‐resource‐based view (NRBV) theory and the review findings, this study proposes four future research directions: (1) identifying ways to enhance the commercialisation of sustainable packaging technological innovations, (2) uncovering reasons for insufficient social aspect investigation in sustainable packaging research, (3) exploring strategies to enhance stakeholder integration in sustainable packaging management and (4) examining contingency factors of packaging waste management effectiveness. The research agenda is important to provide practical and managerial insights for business strategy development in sustainable packaging to achieve pollution prevention, product stewardship and sustainable development capabilities to gain future growth and competitive advantage.

“…Importantly, some municipalities will be limited in what they can do by their state constitutions. In other states, local governments are preempted from regulating plastics (Bell and Todoran, 2022). In such cases, local governments can encourage businesses to voluntarily reduce plastics by recognizing their efforts through a certification or other market-based incentive program.…”

A framework for inland cities to prevent marine debris: A case study from Durham, North Carolina

Land-based sources of litter are increasingly recognized as significant contributors to marine debris, and rivers can carry debris to the coast from far-inland sources. In this paper, we demonstrate the important role inland cities can play in the marine debris crisis by reducing their own marine debris contributions. Given this role, we provide a framework for inland cities to prevent plastic pollution along with the lessons learned from introducing these strategies in Durham, North Carolina, a mid-sized, inland city that drains to the ocean through the Cape Fear and Neuse River watersheds. This framework guides city officials, resource managers, and community partners on how to characterize the plastic pollution problem in their city by collecting baseline data on plastic waste and litter. This framework also provides practical and equitable solutions for inland cities to address plastic pollution. We recommend that inland cities prioritize policy solutions that reduce waste at the source – to the extent that their state constitutions allow – and to also use authorities for stormwater controls to capture and remove debris as long as litter persists. Replicating this framework in other inland cities opens vast opportunities to manage and reduce marine debris from an often-overlooked source.
