Very interesting interview made by Velocity Institute regarding #Privatebrands & #sustainability "The future of private brands and sustainability looks promising. As consumers become more conscious of the environmental and ethical impact of their purchases, private brands have the opportunity to differentiate themselves by offering sustainable products. By leveraging data and engaging suppliers, private brands can drive innovation, reduce their carbon footprint, and build trust with consumers. The shift towards sustainability is not just a trend; it is a fundamental shift in consumer behavior and expectations." https://lnkd.in/etPZ_Njc

Much of 2023 I found myself talking to customers about sustainability and how sustainable their bottle is. Much of the feedback from my network has been the swift change in consumer proceptions. Heavy, non-sustainable bottles aren't interesting; sustainable options are. As you can imagine (like all sustainability) there are easy solutions that brands can make today and longer term solutions which will be driven by major changes in manufacturing. The low hanging fruits for a brand are bottle weights (for both glass use, and in market movement), use of recycled content in the manufacture and distance of travel from the manufacturing point. These are also easy wins for brand communication to challenger / emerging brand's consumers. The new ECOVA spirits range from Verallia UK gives emerging brands instant wins on all of the low hanging fruits; for me it's a no brainer for a brands sustainable evolution. I'll put a link in the comments to the range. With sustainability more important to consumers than ever; it'll be a great thing to talk to consumers about in what looks like a very competitive market in 2024. #packaging #packagingdesign #ecova #madeinuk #sustainabilitymatters #2024trends #spirits #nolo
