This is indeed a very insightful article, thanks for sharing Al Iannuzzi ! At CarbonBright , we did a study for a major retailer that has introduced refillable bottles for some of its home care products. As the article states, we found that there is a higher footprint for refillable bottle manufacturing. So you get benefit only when it is actually re-used a certain number of times. Such changes needs to go hand in hand with all more changes to introduce a behavior change in the user to actually bring back the containers for re-use (several things like $ savings, ease of doing this etc). You need to have ongoing tracking of customer behavior and keep taking necessary steps to influence the behavior.
I thought this was a very insightful article about cosmetic packaging. Some key takeaways: moving away from plastic isn't always a better environmental move, brands should focus on reducing tertiary packaging, refills don't have enough cost reduction to encourage consumers to adapt them. A consumer would rather buy a new package rather than get a refill. I would agree that consumers are not there yet with refills, brands need to do more to encourage them and to educate on the environmental benefits. #sustainablepackaging, #sustainable #green #packaging

The focus of Sustainability in Packaging... The focus is almost entirely on the 'end-of-life' phase for business owners instead of the full picture when it comes to decision-making for their packaging makeup. Glass - You'd think pretty eco-friendly choice right, well 99% of people will because that's the perception out there. When in reality glass has a 3x higher carbon footprint than plastic. Well, shit 🤔 Very few are looking at the entire life cycle, a high volume of glass is not recycled due to contamination and the sheer amount of material that goes into producing it and the emissions from shipping its heavy arse are just glossed over as well. All these little things matter and should be considered, not just the bits that suit a brand's narrative to fool consumers into thinking they're an eco-conscious brand. I'm not saying plastic is a better choice than glass or vice versa but the perceptions around different materials needs to be given a wee shake. Go your own way and all that but ensure the life cycle assessment is your decision driver over just the end of life options. #sustainabilityinnz #climatefriendlypackaging #ecomaterials #fmcgnz #sustainablepackaging #nzsme

The virgin clear poly bag... Used to transport, separate and protect soft goods from factories to DCs to retailers and/or end-customers - this packaging solution has become frustratingly necessary in today's global #fashion #supplychain. What's the alternative? Nothing today is perfectly sustainable in the true definition of the word. But brands do have #ecofriendlier options to choose from - based on their operational needs and budget. 🌿 Many brands explore #plasticfree solutions but ultimately find they need the protection and durability that plastic provides. In these situations, brands can level up their sustainability game by using 100% recycled poly bags, and instituting practices to recycle poly bags at DCs, fulfillment centers and retailers. 🌿 Many brands successfully make the switch to #glassine bags - which offer full coverage protection, translucency for scanning and visibility, and resealability to support QC steps. These bags also make for a differentiating and super compelling customer experience! These are made with #fsc certified virgin paper and are curbside recyclable 🌿 For brands that can successfully transition to paper, and don't need the translucency of glassine - 100% recycled kraft bags are an even more circular option. 🌿 Small brands with simpler supply chains can often roll wrap and secure their goods with paper or twine - for a really minimalistic approach. While none of these virgin #polybag alternatives are perfect, they all represent a significant step forward for brands looking to make positive change.
