How are you supporting sustainability of our environment? First .... what does that even mean? Sustainability as I've read it is defined as our "ability" to coexist with the environment without depleting earth's natural resources or harming earth's natural resources. I question the word ability. After all aren't we able to consider how something can be naturally disposed of if we wanted to without harming the environment. If sustainability is so important, why isn't disposability considered for everything we manufacture when those things reach the end of their life or usefulness? Anyway I am supporting sustainability by using Thirty-One's essential storage totes and large utility totes which are made from recycled plastic bottles rather than using those flimsy throw away plastic bags from the grocery stores. What are you doing to support sustainability? Happy Earth Day!

🌿 Sustainability – Actions Speak Louder Than Words. Everyone’s talking about sustainability these days, but we believe that real sustainability is about more than just words and promises. It's time to move beyond empty rhetoric and focus on what truly matters. ❌ Empty promises: Collecting old items for recycling sounds great, but if you can't transparently prove where they actually end up, it’s just talk. For instance, a large portion of used clothing collected in Western countries ends up in landfills in developing nations – is this truly sustainable? ❌ Meaningless certifications: Certifications look good on paper, but without verifiable actions, they’re just that – paper. ❌ Incomplete circular economy: Claiming to be part of a circular economy is misleading if the "circle" is never fully closed. ❌ Flawed rental services: Rental services that don’t consider the full lifecycle of a product and its final destination are not a solution; they're part of the problem. True sustainability requires transparency, accountability, and long-term solutions. How can we ensure that our actions are genuinely sustainable, and not just empty words?

Let's talk about sustainability! (Part 2) Plastic is a handy material, however it became a curse. On the one hand, it can be used practically everywhere and has a host of advantages. On the other, it is a real problem for our environment if it is carelessly discarded. Giving a second life to a material which would end up in a landfill or the ocean for good brings many advantages: - Reduces Waste and Pollution / Conserves Landfill Space / Uses Less Energy and Less New Resources That's why within our range, you are able to find several value-added woven fabrics offering advantages across all areas of sustainability.

A recent survey by the Chartered Institute of Marketing revealed that 85% of UK consumers believe companies use too much packaging. With people getting more eco-savvy and mindful of waste, they’re pushing businesses to step up their sustainability game. For companies, this isn’t just a challenge – it’s a golden opportunity to innovate, reduce waste, and lead the way towards a more sustainable future. Is it time to rethink your packaging strategy?

As a circular economy consultant and sustainability product developer, I am frequently asked about the best sustainable packaging. In my opinion, Jesus Atias from Dow at #circularity24 gave the best answer: it's not just about the packaging itself, but also about the content inside and how it is produced. Long delivery routes and unsustainable production methods are major sources of emissions. It is crucial to focus on local production and sustainable packaging options, such as refillable options, to minimize waste. These solutions are not only possible but also essential for a truly sustainable future.

🌿 As part of Emerson's #ChooseSustainability campaign, I'm excited to share my sustainability resolution for this year. 🌱   This year, I'm committing to Go Circular. My resolutions are: -       Professionally to support born digital strategies for technology developers in the plastic recycling space. Emerson completeness of portfolio and expertise play an important advisory and partnership role. -       Personally, I will be mindful of the packaging of my purchases to produce less waste by buying products with minimal packaging. Also, I will try to buy products made of biodegradable or recycled materials.   It's a small change that can make a big difference for our planet. 🌏   But I don't want to do this alone! I challenge Gertjan van der Ven, Slawek Suchomski to set your own sustainability resolutions for the year ahead. Whether it's reducing energy consumption, supporting local and sustainable products, or starting a composting routine, every effort counts. 💪   🌟 Share your resolutions with the #ChooseSustainability and inspire others to join us on this journey. 🌎 #Letsgo #emerson
