Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Package Modeling Updates |
|
|
ECRM/Thumbprint’s developers are continuously working to improve the Wal-Mart Stores,
Inc. Package Modeling software. As a benefit to registered subscribers, the Package
Modeling software automatically downloads and applies all updates (including Metric
Data) as they become available – all that is needed is an active internet connection.

|
Metric Data used to calculate scores in the Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Package Modeling
software and Sustainable Packaging Scorecard are currently under active development
and are expected to be largely finished by February 2008. However, all Metric Data
included in the Package Modeling and Sustainable Packaging Scorecard are subject
to change at any time due to advances in materials, manufacturing, and other factors.
