PAC Worldwide’s Post

Mindful Monday If you have followed along the last few years, you've likely seen very ambitious #sustainability goals for most companies, especially large CPGs (Consumer Packaged Goods). With global challenges such as COVID-19, supply chain disruptions, and inflation, we have seen the goalposts move a bit. It's important to understand that, while the timing of many of these has been pushed back a bit, the end goals remain the same. When we are talking about sustainability and the environment, progress is key. We need to keep pushing ourselves to develop innovative solutions that advance a #circulareconomy.

Great Article and perspective by Don Loepp in Plastics News in regard to the continued moving pieces involved in setting sustainability goals. Setting and re-evaluating our collective goals is essential for aspiring to a carbon-neutral industry and there is nothing wrong with taking a big swing, but it is also important not to swing aimlessly. We must learn from our mistakes and plot a pathway forward that incorporates the input of brand owners, consumers, legislators, converters and producers—all essential team members—when it comes to plotting our next approaches. As we build pathways to a more sustainable future, it is crucial to thoroughly review our findings, publish peer-reviewed, third-party vetted studies, and ensure they align with uniform standards like ISO 14083. By doing so, we will demonstrate our commitment to setting practical goals for the future. Plastic packaging and parts at the end of their life are too valuable of a resource to let go to waste. The way forward must be transformative, but it's essential to acknowledge that viable solutions already exist. By leveraging technologies such as Mechanical Recycling, Post-Industrial Recycling, Bio-circular Polymers, Biopolymers, and Advanced Recycling, we can recycle and recreate these materials effectively while addressing the most pressing issues of our time. Let's continue to foster collaborative partnerships for these ambitious goals and take the next steps together on the pathway to a sustainable future.

🌿 We're on a sustainability journey! Last year, we began transitioning to paper-based blister labels for our Pharmacy House business. This shift isn't just about saying goodbye to PVC – it's about embracing innovation and responsibility. 🌍💊 Our labels are now 100% sourced from renewable forests, reducing our carbon footprint by ~20 tons of CO2 emissions every year, contributing directly to #SDG12.

Nonwovens from renewable feedstocks aiding Europe’s push for a sustainability driven future Seen as central to Europe’s future competitiveness, nonwoven products are quickly becoming a sustainable and safe solution to many of Europe’s circular economy struggles. But what are nonwovens and how are policymakers supporting them? And what if those feedstocks were Agriwaste and not just felled trees? EDANA, the voice of nonwovens https://lnkd.in/eSm4VH89
