🌍 Building a Sustainable Future with Circular Economy Principles 🌍 The circular economy is more than a trend—it's a transformative way of designing products and businesses for a sustainable future. I recently had the pleasure of interviewing John J. Richard, Director of Government Relations for the Flexible Packaging Association, where we explored his journey, challenges, and the pivotal role of flexible packaging in driving sustainability forward. In our conversation, John shared how the flexible packaging industry is innovating to reduce waste while advocating for policies that align sustainability with economic resilience. From leading national conversations on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) to pushing the limits of recycling infrastructure, John is a true trailblazer in this space. Check out the full interview to discover insights on how businesses can embrace circularity to meet the needs of today without compromising the future. 📢 Have a story like John's?

50% of companies struggle to integrate circularity into their supply chains effectively. Supply chain complexity and the variability of recycled materials are just some of the challenges facing businesses today. Sustainable Industry sat down with experts from the Henry Royce Institute, CEAMS , and Ricardo plc discuss how #collaboration and #innovation are breaking down these barriers.

How much do you know about the circular economy? Interestingly, in Australia, it was discovered that those who were confident in their knowledge about the circular economy concept dropped from 81 per cent in 2021 to 52 per cent*. Why was this? These results strongly align with the Dunning-Kruger effect, which explains that with complex concepts, confidence often starts high before sharply decreasing as our actual knowledge increases, before a tipping point is reached, and confidence begins to return. Reinforcing the need for more accessible and practical information on circular economy and what it entails was identified as a barrier to action by 36 per cent of survey participants. So check out the video below, featuring Joe Iles and Ellen MacArthur, to learn more about the opportunities the circular economy provides.

As summer fades and school resumes, the hustle and bustle of conference season begins, and the countdown to year-end project deadlines is underway. For the sustainable packaging industry, the end of 2024 marks a crucial period for reflection and future planning. With the holiday season on the horizon, it's time to evaluate our progress and set new priorities for 2025. Key on the agenda are four essential tasks: redefining packaging sustainability goals beyond 2025, rebuilding a store drop-off recycling directory, demonstrating the viability of reuse as the default option, and preparing for new packaging policies. Each of these initiatives plays a critical role in advancing sustainable packaging, ensuring that the industry not only meets its current commitments but also paves the way for a more circular economy by 2030.
