Slide12Common Sustainable Packaging Trends
Increased use of renewably sourced materials
Downsizing / light weighting
(use of concentrates)
Increased Recycling Content
Increased Recycling and Waste Recovery
*When renewed as quickly as it is used, a resource can last indefinitely.
Slide13Materials are defined as renewably sourced when they contain a minimum of 20% by weight of renewable plant source or biomass ingredients verified by 14C dating (ASTM definition) (4)
“ASTM
International is one of the largest voluntary standards developing organizations in the world
...
not-for-profit organization that provides a forum for the development and publication of international voluntary consensus standards for materials, products, systems and services
.” (5)
Slide14Teflon™ EcoElite™ finish is the first renewably-sourced, plant-based and non-fluorinated fabric treatment for durable water repellency. (6)

Slide17Future Visions of Sustainability and Packaging
Slide18To minimize its environmental impact, the concept tire is made from bio-sourced and biodegradable materials, including natural rubber, bamboo, paper, tin cans, wood, electronic and plastic waste, hay, tire chips, used metals, cloth, cardboard, molasses and orange zest. (10)
Slide19Plastic-less water bottle (11)
It
is 100% made of Plants &
Seaweed
Biodegradable in 4-6 weeks, just like a piece of
fruit
Edible, can be
flavored
and
colored
Fresh (shelf life of a few days
)
5x less CO₂, 9x less Energy vs PET
Slide20Make Your Own Edible Bottle(12)
Brown Seaweed Calcium Lactate
Slide21HOPE
Increased Recycling and Waste RecoveryOne triumph in recycling was the harvesting of ocean plastics by major companies. By collecting plastics from beaches that have washed ashore from the sea, Procter & Gamble is harvesting these plastics to use in ¼ of all Head & Shoulders bottles in the future. (13)Jan 2017Further more, it can be used in actual products like the Adidas x Parley sportswear collection
