Quantis’ Post

Scientists have been warning us for decades. We're now facing an environmental emergency. Business as usual is broken. It's failing to move us in the right direction and the stakes are rising rapidly. At Quantis, we refuse to accept that change must fit within the status quo. We're ready to pave the way for a planetary economy — and bring business with us. Join us on this journey of #sustainable business transformation.

We're thrilled to have supported industry leaders Flexible Packaging Europe (FPE) in the development of comprehensive LCA guidance for flexible packaging! 🍫 This guidance aligns methodologies for LCAs and ensures consistency and quality across the industry. It’s a valuable resource for LCA practitioners and reviewers, easing the process and reducing documentation requirements. To ensure sustainability plans are ambitious and science-based, we need industries to work toward common standards. This guidance helps players in the flexible packaging industry play by the same set of rules regarding impact assessments. “Quantis is proud to have led the technical development and drafting of this LCA guidance, working closely with industry leaders to ensure its applicability and impact.” – Patricia G. & Laura Peano, Quantis Read more about the guidance >> https://lnkd.in/evuvR6KU #SustainabilePackaging #LCA #Packaging

"Nature" is a term that has entered the sustainability lexicon in full force, reflecting the push to expand sustainability strategies beyond climate initiatives. But a little less conversation and a little more action would enable the food and beverage industry to harness nature's full sustainability potential. The food and beverage industry contributes to nature degradation more than any other sector, while also relying heavily on its ecosystem services. While there's a lot to lose by ignoring nature, there's even more to gain by halting and reversing nature loss.

Last week concluded the Future Fabrics Expo in London, where Quantis' Allon Zeitoun, Antoine Bois Lemarquis and Kate O'Brien took the stage! During their panel, they shared insights from our joint Sustainable Raw Materials report with Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and Textile Exchange, featuring recommendations for how fashion brands can create and implement a robust materials strategy. 💬 "Acting on raw materials is a critical lever to decarbonize the industry, as 85% of the industry has made a pledge to reduce CO2 emissions. Addressing raw materials has high potential for positive impact, including business resilience as climate change is already affecting raw material production." — Antoine Bois Lemarquis.
