Keep America Beautiful Inc. (KAB) has appointed Anne Johnson, program director of GreenBlue and director of the Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC), to its national board of directors.
“Packaging waste has been an ongoing concern for Keep America Beautiful as it relates to both litter and recycling issues,” says Matthew McKenna, president and CEO of KAB. “Anne Johnson is one of the nation’s foremost experts on this issue, which is so essential to our mission. We look forward to her contributions to the organization.”
Johnson has more than 15 years of experience in materials, industrial processes, environmental management and systems evaluation of products and packaging. At SPC, she has helped develop SPC’s Definition of Sustainable Packaging design guidelines for packaging, environmental technical briefs on packaging materials, indicator and metrics for sustainable packaging, and a comparative package design software application called COMPASS, which uses life cycle metrics and packaging characteristics to evaluate the environmental impacts of packaging across its life cycle.
