Interesting piece here on chaos packaging. It is undeniably attention-grabbing, especially when done right. More importantly, when done right it is more than just a gimmick, it's a strategic tool for brands to differentiate themselves in crowded markets. Completely agree with Tey and Lisa's thoughts - but I am not going to tell you what they are...you'll have to read the piece. And I can guarantee that once you've read it going around the supermarket will never be the same again. #PackagingDesign #Innovation #ChaosPackaging

We need to see much more of this. Brand owners and retailers working together to make reuse work. Beverage heavyweights The Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo, Peet's Coffee, Yum! Brands and Starbucks are launching The Petaluma Reusable Cup Project in California. Starting next month, over 30 restaurants in Petaluma (40 miles north of San Fransisco) will replace single-use cups with reusable to-go cups. The initiative aims to encourage reuse, with multiple cup return points across the city. Led by the NextGen Consortium and Closed Loop Partners, the project will collect data on customer participation and environmental impact to assess the feasibility of scaling the model. This trial seeks to shift consumer habits towards sustainable, reusable packaging options. #packaging #reuse
