Carhartt’s Post

Since 1889, Carhartt has used the highest-quality materials and outstanding craftsmanship to create gear that's built to (out)last. Launched in partnership with Trove in March 2023, the Carhartt Reworked resale program aims to prolong the life of rugged Carhartt products by keeping them out of landfills and giving folks who appreciate purchasing sustainable, durable gear the chance to do their part in building a better, less wasteful world. Through Trove, Carhartt ensures that its previously worn or slightly imperfect legendary outwear remains in circulation and continues working hard for customers. The numbers speak for themselves. In 2023 alone: 🌎 6,829 trade-ins were received through 39 Carhartt stores 🌎 36.72 tons of Carhartt Reworked products were diverted from landfills 🌎 34,371 reclaimed items were purchased via Carhartt Reworked 🌎 17,623 unique customers shopped at Carhartt Reworked 🌎 3,744 repairs were made to Carhartt products Working alongside the dedicated team at Carhartt has been an honor to ensure we provide sustainable quality products to consumers daily. Carhartt Reworked is only one part of their effort to help reduce clothing waste. See how they're keeping more hardworking gear in circulation and out of landfills: https://lnkd.in/gVmYBiPm. #Carhartt #Outdoorwear #Sustainability #Yearinreview

Over the past few weeks, I have been reflecting on our business journey. It's a testament to our team's dedication that we've weathered many ups and downs and are still thriving 41 years on. My stepfather, Paul Norman, a time-served toolmaker, started the business. (Fun fact: Kier Starmer's father was also a toolmaker—remember that line from the election campaign?) My dad and grandfathers were also toolmakers; I thought that was what all dads and grandfathers did when I was growing up! Although my stepfather is now semi-retired, he remains deeply invested in our company and keeps abreast of all that is happening. Today, Chris Wrenn (Technical Director) and I run the day-to-day operations with our fantastic and loyal team of 23 employees. Our commitment is not to the bucket and spade market, where high volumes and low margins often measure success. Instead, we focus on providing specialised, high-quality plastic injection moulding solutions through niche, low-volume manufacturing. This approach allows us to tailor our services to the unique needs of our clients, reinforcing our identity as a company that truly cares for its customers. As we continue to grow and adapt, I am immensely proud of our team's resilience and dedication. We look forward to many more years of delivering exceptional products and service. How have you adapted your business strategies to meet the changing needs of your industry? #BusinessJourney #Manufacturing #Toolmaking #FamilyBusiness #LowVolumeManufacturing #InjectionMolding #SpecialisedManufacturing #QualityOverQuantity #CustomerFocused #ManufacturingIndustry #ukmanufacturing #madeinbritain #madeintheuk

Everyone should clean they own mess and plastic bottles should go directly into recycling streams....but this is not reality! This documentary is reality, at least for people in this landfill outside of Belgrade, one of the largest in Europe. Bottlemen by Nemanja Vojinović, tells the story of the daily lives of plastic bottle collectors in the omnipresence of seagulls, in the toxic fumes of spontaneous fires that rise from the mountains of garbage. I think we can do better.... #recycling #plasticwaste #circulareconomy https://lnkd.in/d6ShU9zX

How did Paperboat lose its way? Paperboat. Remember that feeling when you tried it the first time? I do. Launched in 2013, it felt like a breath of fresh air.     Those ethnically-inspired flavors, like Aam Panna and Jaljeera, took me right back to childhood summers.     And the packaging? Unique, eye-catching, it stood out like a peacock in a flock of pigeons (no offense, pigeons).     They weren't just competing with the giants Coke and Pepsi, they were carving their own path. No more colas or run-of-the-mill mango drinks.     Here was a brand that spoke to our desi roots, our memories.     Remember those Indigo Airlines flights where you first discovered them?   I do! It was genius, creating those initial "aha!" Moments.    But somewhere along the way, the magic seemed to fade.   - Tetrapak packaging? Meh.   - Mango and mixed fruit? Yawn. It felt like they were chasing the big boys, losing sight of what made them special. Modern trade became the focus, and those traditional channels, the ones that gave them their heart, got sidelined.    The numbers tell the story. Market share? Down 30% in the last five years (ouch).   Consumers? Confused, wondering if Paperboat forgot who it was supposed to be.    But is there hope! Can they still turn things around?    It would mean that they have to go back to their roots, those unique, regional flavors that no one else does.   Remember Jeera soda? That was a missed opportunity!     Get back to those traditional channels, the ones where their story resonates most. And hey, listen to their customers! Understand what they want, what they miss about the old Paperboat.    Success isn't about selling your soul for short-term gains.   Paperboat, remember why we fell in love with you in the first place. Reconnect with that, and you might just write a new chapter, a comeback story for the ages.    What do you think? Did Paperboat lose its way? Can they find their way back? What interesting flavors do you think Paperboat can launch that will fit with the brand's core promise? #BringBackTheMagic #DesiDrinks #EthnicFlavors

✨ Female Power at Kneipp ✨ From paper blend or grass paper to cork and glass – Isabel Hafner, Head of Packaging Development at Kneipp, is our expert. 💚 #FemaleLeadership: How do you become a leader? Sometimes by simply jumping in at the deep end. When the position of the team lead was to be filled last year, Isabel decided to take up the challenge and applied – you know the result of the story... 💚 Her daily mission? Developing new packaging as well as optimizing existing packaging solutions according to our sustainability strategy. If there is a new product, there is no way that Isabel was not involved. It’s her aim to think out of the box to challenge existing packaging and go beyond established solutions to make our packaging even smarter in the future. 💚 You've probably noticed it by now. Packaging is way more than only the outside of our products. This is why Isabel and her team are constantly testing and experimenting with new, innovative materials to find out what the ideal packaging of the future can look like while setting and defining new strategies for the company. 💚 Our lip care range is a great example for an innovative packaging concept that Isabel was involved in: The packaging is made of silphie paper while the cap is made of paper blend – a packaging that helps us to save natural resources. And this is what Isabel says herself: 𝘔𝘺 𝘥𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯: 𝘵𝘰 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵-𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯𝘦. 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘯𝘦𝘸, 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴.

Curious about how Trimmer Infeeds operate? From vertical to side delivery, each setup is customized to suit the plant's needs. Starwheels inside the trimmer efficiently transfer cans, their path determined by the infeed setup. As they exit, cans smoothly roll away while trim rings are sorted for recycling. Throughout the process, the main turret ensures a precise trim. #CanSCHOOL #TrimmerInsights #ProcessAutomation #BehindTheScenes
