A major reason for my move to LyondellBasell was to contribute more directly to #circularity. Coming from the #cpgindustry, I saw first-hand how consumers are increasingly scrutinizing #brands over their #sustainability efforts and the impact of that scrutiny on their #purchase behavior. I also gained a much greater appreciation for how hard it is to redesign packaging, the importance of drop-in solutions, and the need for close #collaboration throughout the #valuechain. With the launch of our new CirculenRecover grades of #recycled polymers, we are making it easier for brands to increase the recycled content of their #packaging, divert plastics that may have otherwise ended up in landfills, incinerators, or the ocean, and better deliver against the expectations of their #consumers. This is very exciting news for the team, and there is a lot more coming down the pike!

Did you know that the deodorant industry is responsible for over 15 million pounds of plastic waste per year? Even some brands known for using natural ingredient formulas still package their products in plastic. But the industry is slowly transitioning to more sustainable packaging models, with several brands ditching single-use plastics in favor of recyclable and biodegradable options. ♻️ Take for example the brand Bai-Li and their innovative approach with cardboard push tubes. These zero-waste packaging options are fully biodegradable and compostable, and use labels made from sugarcane. 🌳 While many of the larger brands are still using plastics that are virtually impossible to recycle, being comprised of multiple types of plastics, there is a growing movement towards change. 🌎 Let's all do our part to reduce household plastic waste by making sustainable choices. #NoWasteNovember #Sustainability #Paper #Packaging

This is a far more complex decision than most people realize. Plastic bags cost much less than paper ones. The weight and volume of paper to plastic bags is about 11 to 1, meaning that it takes far more trucks to ship the same number of paper vs. plastic bags. In-store inventory holding costs and space use are significantly greater for paper bags as well. Am I saying that one is better than the other? No. But without a bigger picture, full lifecycle perspective, there is no easy-to-predict winner. #SPRING, #springpackarchive, #LCA, #sustainablepackaging

This is a great example of how food or beverage companies can make a sustainable change by reducing plastic waste. Many companies, including Valio, are making the switch from plastic containers to recyclable paperboard cups. In Valio's case, this change will result in 143 tonnes less plastic being used. So just imagine how big the impact could be if every company made a commitment to move away from plastic waste! Although recyclable paperboard cups may be slightly more expensive than plastic, making the change is definitely worth it. #PlasticWaste #WasteReducation #FoodAndBevSustainability

The rise of reusable packaging can be largely attributed to the growing awareness of plastic pollution and its devastating impact on our ecosystem. 🌎 As consumers are witnessing the consequences of single-use plastics, they are actively seeking alternatives. Reusable packaging presents a compelling solution. Our Satino PureSoft range is wrapped and delivered in recycled packaging that uses 60% less virgin plastic, which itself can be recycled after use. Championing sustainability, Satino PureSoft is helping businesses to reduce their output of waste.

Hundreds of brands are moving toward recycling solutions and have made agendas to cut virgin plastic from their supply chain. Pepsi is one of these brands and below is their commitment. pep+ sustainable and innovative packaging solution agendas By 2025: Design 100% of our packaging to be recyclable, compostable, biodegradable, or reusable Invest to increase recycling rates in key markets By 2030: Cut virgin plastic from non-renewable sources per serving across our global beverages and convenient foods portfolio by 50% through: Scaling new business models that avoid or minimize single-use packaging materials (e.g., models that reuse, refill, prepare at home, utilize concentrates, like powders, drops, etc.), with the aim of delivering 20% of all beverage servings we sell through reusable models Reducing our absolute tonnage of virgin plastic from non-renewable sources by 20%, including by seeking to: Use market-leading bio-based and renewable materials Achieve our goal of using 50% recycled content in our plastic packaging #PepsiSustainability #PepsiRecycling #PepsiSustainablePackaging #RecyclingSolutions #PlasticReduction #RecyclablePackaging #CircularEconomy #SustainabilityGoals #EcoFriendlyPackaging #ReducePlasticWaste #EnvironmentalCommitment #oceanplastic

♻️ Recycling plastic is essential to preserve the planet and the natural resources at our disposal, playing a fundamental role in the circular economy. The fake news we hear the most on this issue, however, is that plastic is only minimally recycled, but is that really the case? @raccoltalagiusta helps us dispel this myth: "In Italy, the recycling of plastic packaging has been steadily increasing for years and allows saving the virgin raw material necessary for the production of new packaging. In 2021, 520 thousand tons of virgin material were saved, equivalent to the production of 11 billion plastic bottles. PET of 1 liter detergent." ♻️ Recycling plastic is therefore not only a consolidated reality, but it is even constantly increasing, which helps us not to waste virgin material and to save precious energy in the recycling process. #NTSmoulding #beyondmoulding #nts #ntssocialacademy #ntsacademy #coaching #emotionalintelligence #educare #PET #sustainability #raccoltalagiusta #circulareconomy #recycling

By 2030, recycled plastic demand is projected to be between 200% and 300% higher than current levels. Here's how to ease hurdles in certifying its resupply. http://ow.ly/8Qcn104PE1O #EYCanada #EYSustainability
