Little plastic pieces are part of everything and it's amazing to take note of that when you pay attention. I love company partnerships that are designed to do better.

#InTheNews | From Clothes to Cars: Is Plastic Polluting Everything? Earth Day Calls for Action. «Other major applications of plastics include building and construction, transportation as well as textiles, with the fast fashion industry particularly guilty of adding to the world’s plastic footprint. “The fast fashion industry annually produces over 100 billion garments,” the Earth Day organizers write. “Overproduction and overconsumption have transformed the industry, leading to the disposability of fashion. People now buy 60 percent more clothing than 15 years ago, but each item is kept for only half as long.”» #EarthDay2024 #BeatPlasticPollution #PackagingProblem #SustainablePackaging #FastFashionFootprint #EndTextileWaste #CircularEconomy #ReuseRevolution #MillionTonThreat #EarthDayAction #OneEarth via Statista https://lnkd.in/dph4WD43

It’s time for the fashion industry to take a closer look at one of its biggest challenges: packaging waste. Sustainable packaging isn’t just a nice-to-have, but a must. At Plastics for Change, we’re helping brands turn this challenge into an opportunity. We're by transforming plastic waste into something valuable for the planet and communities. 💚 Curious about how your brand can make a real difference with sustainable packaging?

The pursuit of sustainability has become a hallmark of responsible business practices. However, distinguishing genuine sustainability from superficial gestures can be challenging amidst the myriad of green initiatives and eco-friendly claims. We are setting the Gold Standard for Sustainability in textile manufacturing. Every product under that umbrella has its sustainability report crafted by BCome – a third-party organization ensuring responsible supply chains and full transparency and is accredited by a myriad of world-renowned certifications.

As we move into the New Year, the urgency of packaging sustainability is even more urgent - in just six years, all plastic consumer product packaging is required to be 100% reusable, recyclable, or compostable. A brand refresh now holds the dual responsibility of not only capturing attention and enhancing value but also aligning with sustainability practices to meet environmental standards.  #SustainablePackaging #2030CPG #BrandRefresh #GreenDesign https://lnkd.in/gdjV-tZJ

Supporting a sustainable marketplace around the world is among the main pillars of our ESG strategy. It upholds our goal to reduce plastic packaging by 30 percent for U.S. owned brands, and no effort is too small in helping us achieve this by 2030. Learn how a recent minor change to some Walgreens brand products helps improve the recyclability of 13 tons of plastic. #ESG #Sustainability #ProductPackaging #Design #Recycling

Circularity needs to turn words into action ♻️    As revealed in the Circularity Gap Report 2024, despite the number of discussions, debates, and articles surrounding the #circulareconomy nearly tripling over the past five years, the global circularity rate has regrettably fallen from 9.1% to 7.2% in the same period. This downward trend in circularity underscores the urgency for transformative action.   At Davines Group | Certified B Corp, we're committed to rethinking our actions, moving beyond the traditional "take, make, dispose" mindset. For long time now, we have been striving to minimize our use of materials as much as possible, and when that’s not possible, we aim to reuse them or, finally, recycle them.   I am very proud to highlight some achievements from our latest Sustainability Report:    ✅ 779 tons of plastic collected in 2022: equal to 100% of the quantity of plastic from sold products    ✅ 64.1% recycled, bio-based, and mass-balance plastic packaging    ✅ 903.3 tons of fossil-based virgin plastic avoided from 2014 to 2022   We firmly believe that by prioritizing circularity and using businesses as a force for good, we, all, can play a pivotal role in preserving our planet for future generations. Let's turn words into action and drive positive change together 💚   #DavinesGoodLifeForAll #BCorp #SustainableBeauty #davinesgrouppeople Davide Bollati; Anthony Molet; Mark Giannandrea; Arnaud Goullin; Stefano Benetti; Andrea Mussi; M.
