Amscan UK’s Post

SILC Sponsor Spotlight: Wonder Group and Amscan UK The party and dress up specialist, Wonder Group appointed a new Group Sustainability Specialist this summer. Daniel Foster took up the mantle in June this year with the mission to provide support to the individual companies under the Wonder brand and drive the sustainability agenda across each and every one of them. A key focus for the Dan and the team will be on reduction, a key target for sustainability, whether that’s across emissions, waste, or in single-use materials. Wonder will be looking into new ways to reduce its impact across the supply chain, focusing on scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, as outlined with Climate Partner. The team is currently transitioning its costume packaging to an easily recyclable mono-plastic bag, with 40% recycled content. Targets have also been set to achieve a minimum of 35% recycled content in all products and packaging using plastic. Ambitions for 2024: Wonder and Amscan are committed to improving the lifecycle of its products. One example being a significant increase in the amount of machine washable costumes. This means products can be used again and again while working to change the perception of dress-up being a single-use product. Daniel Foster, Group Sustainability Specialist:  “We’re passionate about sustainability. It is extremely important to us at Wonder to continue to lead the way in our specific category, ensuring our systems and products meet the requirements of the future. Gathering everyone together, discussing this best practice, exchanging knowledge and ideas, is key for us all to bring a greater understanding to the topic and therefore in return, a more sustainable output.”  #SILC23 #ProductsOfChange Melanie Beer
