A recent global Brand Audit Report by The Break Free From Plastic (BFFP) movement revealed a startling fact: worldwide 18 of the 20 most common items found in waste streams were related to food packaging, including beverage bottles, food wrappers, and food containers. This underscores the critical need to shift towards reusable service ware and packaging to combat plastic pollution and embrace a circular economy. Amid the packaging crisis, opting for reusable service ware is a must. Nonetheless, we have a solution for Colorado-based businesses. We're still accepting participants to receive the $600 worth of service ware and one-on-one consulting with us. Contact us for more information.

Plastic is not completely bad; we use it every day and everywhere. What is clear to everyone is that we all need to try to reduce waste streams. D-PAK (and other products like stand-up pouches) offer us this opportunity. There is no reason to throw away your hand soap pump after one use—just refill it! I am using the content of a recent post from Kartoflex as the basis for this message; more information can be found here, https://lnkd.in/eUwUuWMu ( Unfortunately, the text is in Dutch, I am sure you will understand the core message )   Recent tests conducted in Germany, Great Britain, and Sweden show that consumers prefer cardboard refill packages over plastic pouches. 🌱 🔍 Key Findings: **Sustainability & Environment**: Consumers choose cardboard for its lower carbon footprint and the reduction of plastic waste. **Ease of Use**: Cardboard packaging scores high on sturdiness, user-friendliness, and reclosability. **Wide Applicability**: Suitable for liquid hand soap, dishwashing liquid, fabric softener, and more.   📊 Impressive Statistics: - 97% of Swedish respondents preferred Elopak's D-PAK over plastic. - More than half of German and British consumers are willing to purchase non-food products in cardboard packaging. "Consumers are looking for eco-friendly, user-friendly packaging. Elopak - D-PAK cardboard meets these needs and offers manufacturers the opportunity to differentiate themselves."

🌍 Sustainable Innovations at Fresh Direct! 🥑 We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our new, plastic-free packaging for our best-selling avocado twin-pack, developed with our key avocado supply partner, Westfalia Fruit. This is the first time such packaging has been used in foodservice, replacing plastic with a fully recyclable, paper-based pack from FSC approved sources. The co-branded twin packs not only reduce plastic waste but also ensure our avocados arrive in top condition. Paul Nieduszynski, Sysco GB CEO, stated: “This is another step in our journey to reduce our environmental impact, building on successes like removing plastic from our berries packaging. While major initiatives like electric vehicles and solar installations grab headlines, it’s these everyday efforts that truly make a difference. Every incremental change with our suppliers contributes to our sustainability goals.” #FreshDirect #Sustainability #PlasticFree #WestfaliaFruit #EcoFriendly #FoodserviceInnovation

🤏🏻 - One good small initiative to reduce the plastic waste by a considerable amount. 👍🏻- Hope this trial run should work well. If someone could highlight the cons and pros of this in the comment section it would be very useful. #itc #fmcg #sustainable #ecofriendly

The discussion surrounding take-out food packaging has been relatively quiet recently, following a necessary pause after the prohibition of single-use plastics in October 2023. This ban specifically targeted the use of throwaway plastic cutlery and styrofoam containers, leading the industry to shift its focus towards finding alternative choices for their clientele. Looking back on the past year, the primary focus has been on developing environmentally friendly approaches for packaging take-out meals, ones that have a minimal ecological footprint and promote a sustainable economy. This particular aspect has garnered significant attention in the packaging sector lately, often spurred by regulatory measures and policies designed to foster innovation in this field. #plastic #saynotoplastic #plasticpackaging

Here are the top 6 benefits of adopting eco-friendly food packaging: 👉 Incentivizes Customers: Despite a general lack of adherence to eco-friendly intentions, consumers’ aspirations remain genuine.

This is particularly important for brands catering to families and those concerned with non-toxic food consumption. 👉Energy-Efficiency: Lighter materials used in eco-friendly packaging reduce the strain on production processes, leading to energy savings and reduced business costs. 👉Variety: The evolution of eco-friendly packaging offers a range of options, from flexible parchment bags to rigid, plant-based containers.
