We rethink how sustainable packaging is designed

Materials
Recycled or reused materials should be used where possible. If applications require virgin material, they should come from sustainable and renewable resources that are not used for food applications.
Production
Packaging is produced with lowest carbon, waste and water footprint. Production is done in a socially and ethically responsible way.
Supply Chain
Packaging should be designed to only bundle and protect the product in the entire supply chain. Any other functionality (like marketing, etc.) should be added with minimal impact on the environmental footprint
End of Life
Sustainable packaging should have no harm to our planet in any end of life scenario. Sustainable packaging should be collected and recycled. If it becomes litter it should have no negative environmental impact in any end of life scenario.
