Ensuring Performance and Circularity

PROCUREMENT – With significant experience in local and European packaging manufacturing, we can help address the asymmetry which exists between the manufactures, processors and retailers throughout the scoping, design and tender process. Should you have a requirement for such services, please get in touch for a fully unbiased approach. 

DESIGN - Consumer needs and behavior have changed markedly over the past few years with the increase in single-person-households and an aging population presenting exciting challenges to current formats. A modern approach is now required to understand how best to package products to ensure optimal presentation, function and ultimately, recyclability. Today’s consumer, with an ever-increasing choice of offer and outlet, will no longer accept designs which are not tailored for their needs.  The awakening of the general public to issues such as plastic waste, food waste and recyclability must also be considered in all stages of product design. 

CIRCULARITY – the final stage of recyclability. This is the Utopian landscape the packaging industry needs to strive for. Having a full appreciation of the resource chain including Carbon emissions and water usage must form part of the tri-party Sustainability relationship between manufacturers, processors and retailers. Ensuring products are “circular by design” and doing all possible to highlight the inherent value within a package will help lead the change away from a disposable society.
