Interesting to read.

It’s time to rethink waste as a valuable resource. ♻ Check out the latest Harvard Business manager article featuring Mondi Flexible Packaging CEO Thomas Ott. He discusses the journey from a ‘take-make-use-dispose' economy to a #circular one, where products and materials are continuously reused and recycled: 🔗 https://brnw.ch/21wLfNq At Mondi, we’re all in on our sustainability mission with our Mondi Action Plan 2030 (MAP2030), guiding us toward a more sustainable future. #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #PackagingIndustry #MondiGroup

The importance of plastic waste and what it does to our planet is not discussed enough and neither is what the countries are doing about it throughout the globe. Just a small part to play with CleanHub in our way to support plastic neutrality within the events market space and to make it more known, that we all need to do more as an industry #events #eventprofs

There is a better way to sell products that are no longer wanted or needed. A way that helps save the planet 🌎🌿 The Ellen MacArthur Foundation predicts that a development path to a circular economy could cut carbon dioxide emissions in half by 2030. At stocs, we strive to create a circular economy for retail where products aren't thrown away, but are reused and recycled. #EarthDay #EarthDay2024 #PlanetVsPlastics #InnovatorsVsPlastics #CircularEconomy

There are not enough circular economy managers in the world. In fact there are only a few. I have the great privilege of knowing many of the best ones. I want to share this piece by Flor Peña Herron, Sustainability & Circularity Manager at Avery Dennison. "Why labels as an afterthought can undo hard fought sustainability wins to how EcoDesign can help not only the recyclability but also prevent spoilage, reduce waste and improve overall sustainability outcomes." #EcoDesign #ClosedLoop #Traceability Full article here: https://lnkd.in/e5-GtmTu

🌍 Happy Earth Day! 🌎 This year's theme is “Planet vs. Plastics,” which calls for widespread awareness of the health risks of plastics, with a strong push to rapidly phase out all single-use plastics and end fast fashion. Here at Index, we embrace eco-friendly alternatives to plastics, and have several exciting activities lined up this week for Indexers to learn more about sustainable living.

On World Earth Day, eDAS wishes for a future where innovation replaces plastic with sustainable alternatives, ensuring a thriving planet for all. #planetvsplastic #saynotoplastic #EarthDay #WorldEarthDay

As we mark Earth Day, the environmental challenges we face are undeniable. Resource consumption far outpaces Earth's ability to replenish, and waste is a growing crisis with two billion metric tons a year, set to increase by 70% by 2050.   The solution? The circular economy.   The circular economy approach goes beyond 'being green.' It's a strategic shift that builds a competitive advantage by designing longer-lasting products and prioritizing reuse/recycling.   Schneider Electric has been a circular economy champion for over two decades. Our Schneider Sustainability Impact program targets 50% sustainable material content and zero single-use plastic packaging by 2025.   Recognized as a circularity "lighthouse" in 2024 by the World Economic Forum, we're leading the way.   Our journey towards circular value chains has revealed three key ingredients: technology, strong partnerships, and trust in materials. That's why our strategy focuses on four interconnected pillars: Design & Innovate, Use Better, Use Longer, and Use Again – all powered by digitization and data interoperability.   Discover how to maximize smarter, better, circular strategies here; https://lnkd.in/ex73fc9P   Join us in building a circular future!   #BeanImpactMaker #EarthDay2024

Schneider Electric’s “Use Better, Use Longer, Use Again” #circularity approach is a truly holistic way to envision how we support our customers across end-to-end product and system lifecycles. It ensures that circular principles of eliminating waste and innefficiency, as well as maximizing resource utilization, are at our core when delivering greater critical business outcomes to customers with #digitized and #electrified solutions. This is a true testament of our commitment to driving greater #sustainability, #efficiency, and #resiliency for our industry, as circular economy adoption is critical to achieving #decarbonization and #netzero targets for us as well as our partners and customers. I’ve been honored to trailblaze the adoption of this approach in our U.S. Services and NAM Operations businesses over the last year with the support of great colleagues like Shreya Sonar, Katie Schindall, Kelsey Clair, Marissa Ainsworth, PMP, Maya Ezzeddine, Ph.D., Rosa Valdez Parks, and countless more. And I will continue to advocate for circular economy adoption in every role I take in the future. #LifeisOn

♻ This post below from John Avolio was great to see. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation was launched in 2010 to accelerate the transition to a circular economy. The report shows that consumer has voted with their dollar, and the top companies are responding by making a swift and significant change in their PCR film sourcing. I love to print on these new sustainable options because of how much easier they are on the environment. There are so many more options for brands now. #DigitalPrinting #FlexiblePackaging #Sustainability #Technology #PCR #RecyclablePackaging
