Unilever’s Post

Did you know there are six key factors in reusable packaging models? 🌍 The #TRANSFORM initiative by Unilever supports a range of enterprises testing and scaling innovative packaging models. Bopinc operates refill station distribution models in Kenya and Bangladesh, running a behavior-change campaign to help consumers switch from single-use to refills. Together with partners, we're promoting #CircularEconomy and sustainable packaging solutions. #Bopinc #TRANSFORMInitiative #Kenya #Bangladesh #BehaviorChange #EcoFriendly #SustainablePackaging  

🌍♻️On #GlobalRecyclingDay, let's face the facts: 85% of all plastic packaging ends up in landfills, yet 68% of all pulp & paper are recycled. It's time for action! Make the switch and choose #sustainablepackaging over plastic in your daily life. At ThermoFibre, we're committed to crafting food trays and product packaging from fiber, tipping the scales toward recycling. #moldedfiber can be recycled 20 times. Join us in building a #circulareconomy. 🌱 #foodpackaging #mouldedfibre

We often hear that plastics are not sustainable - but is that always the case? The good news is that plastics are sustainable when they are circular. It's really all about the 3 R's – reduce, reuse, and recycle. It is possible to save both environmental and financial resources in industrial plastic packaging worldwide. #Sustainable #Plastic #Recycle

Petro-plastic recycling has NEVER worked well. Oil & Gas/Plastic-makers clearly understood plastic recycling would NEVER work well way back in 1973. It's much, much, much cheaper to make NEW virgin plastic than to recycle our plastic FOOD PACKAGING trash. But even 50-years of plastic recycling DECEPTION, orchestrated & paid for by Oil & Gas/Plastic-makers, is no longer the PUBLIC HEALTH narrative. The troubling NEW 2022 discovery of three (3) common petro-plastic FOOD PACKAGING materials (PE-PS-PET) - ALL found floating in our human BLOOD - is an enormous PUBLIC HEALTH liability for Oil & Gas/Plastic-makers. Plastics floating in our BLOOD reminds us of DDT killing baby eagles, Monsanto toxic PCBs in fish & toxic DuPont and 3M PFAS "fluorine-forever" toxins floating in our drinking water, fish and our human BLOOD. Loving parents & grandparents DO NOT WANT Polyethylene/PE or Polystyrene/PS or Polyethylene terephthalate/PET petro-plastic FOOD PACKAGING materials floating around in their children's BLOOD or their grandchildren's BLOOD.

In today's environmentally conscious world, the plastic industry faces increasing pressure to adopt more sustainable practices. Companies can no longer afford to simply sell products; it's time to offer holistic solutions that align with sustainability goals. This transition isn't easy, especially for those new to sustainable packaging concepts. But it's essential for long-term growth and building stronger customer relationships. Check out these essential questions that help companies understand their sustainability needs and how we can collaboratively meet them. Whether it's enhancing recyclability, reducing material use, or incorporating post-consumer recycled content, the goal is clear: protect our planet while driving business success. Join us in leading the charge towards a greener future! 💚? #SustainableManufacturing #CNCMachining #ManufacturingTechnology https://lnkd.in/gaMKvEgh

Proud of it, by large greenest way of packaging. Proven by hard facts.

🚀 I just came across some exciting news! The U.S. Plastics Pact has rolled out Roadmap 2.0, aiming to eliminate plastic packaging waste by 2025. Their ambitious goals include cutting unnecessary plastic, making all packaging reusable, recyclable, or compostable, and hitting a 30% average recycled content. It’s a huge collaborative push for a greener future. These clear goals and guidelines make it easier for individuals and firms like ours on a plastic-free journey.

According to Martyn Tickner, Chief Advisor Circular Solutions Alliance to End Plastic Waste, the challenge is to figure out how to take action to accelerate the transition we need in the industry. The current #recycling system is driven by what is available, not what is really needed. Working on a new approach that prioritizes quality and creates a market pull for better recycled materials will lead to clearer guidelines, better technology, and better designed products.

How does an industry shift from a non-recyclable package to a recyclable one? You start with design and a strong collaboration across the value chain including recyclers as Stacey discusses in the redesign of toothpaste and other tubes to ensure once collected they can be incorporated into a valuable stream. #plasticrecycling #designforrecycling #collaboration https://lnkd.in/eQ-4nzxq

Let’s make waves this World Oceans Day. 💙 Did you know that most types of plastic do not biodegrade and may take thousands of years to break down? The reality is that most of this plastic ends up in either our oceans or landfills. The global shift from plastic to cardboard packaging is more than just a trend, it’s an essential response to our planet’s cry for help. Cardboard is biodegradable, recyclable, a renewable source, and energy efficient, making it one of the most sustainable packaging choices. At Tams Packaging, we’re committed to providing our clients with high-quality, sustainable, CARDBOARD packaging solutions.
