Sustainable packaging involves developing packaging solutions with minimal environmental impact throughout their lifecycle, from sourcing to use and disposal. This means that you will have to include environmental aspects when designing the packaging. Sustainable packaging improves the quality image of your product and your brand. It ensures cost savings in the chain of production, logistics, use phase and waste processing. In addition, you contribute to a cleaner environment and comply with increasingly strict legislation, such as the European PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation). This includes recyclability, reusable or refill packaging, the use of recycled or biobased materials and minimizing the weight and volume of the packaging.

Getting started with sustainable packaging

We support industry associations and individual companies with the following services:

• Sustainable packaging plans for sector organizations
• LCA studies of product packaging combinations
• Strategic advice and roadmaps on future proof packaging systems
• Value chain projects we optimize product packaging systems in collaboration with material suppliers, packaging producers, packers, brand owners, retailers, users, waste collectors and recycling companies.
• Training courses, we let packaging experts and packaging designers get to work with their own packaging project.

Some of our projects:

• LIDL – Sustainable Packaging advice
• Royal FloraHolland – LCA study on flower and plant sleeves
