    No more waste and toxicity: Unlocking value in sustainable materials and manufacturing.

    · Unboxing Your Packaging

    INTRODUCTION

    If you’ve ever asked yourself any of the following three questions, then this episode is for you!

    How can you eliminate toxicity and waste from your facilities and products?How can you uncover value and opportunities in the threats and challenges you face, from material extraction and processing to disposal?What do you still need to learn to truly embrace a shift toward a more circular economy?

    We’re diving into these questions with my guest, Paul Foulkes-Arellano, co-author of the book Materials & Sustainability: Building A Circular Future. If books open windows to the world, then let’s leaf through one that reveals a new view of sustainable materials and manufacturing.

    Together,

    we unpacked the meaning of sustainability ;we compared terms like virgin materials vs. waste materials, procurement vs. management, carbon emissions vs. water crisis, and many others that shed light on crucial issues ;and we brought fresh perspectives, even starting with some thought-provoking quotes.

    As you’ll see, we approached this content with the playful curiosity of children jumping into a pile of colorful leaves, leaving you to grab the one idea that resonates most.

    Reduce, Reuse, Refill: Paris's Journey to a Zero Single-Use Plastic Future – Bold Moves for the Olympics?

    · Unboxing Your Packaging

    INTRODUCTION

    What actions can a city like Paris take to eliminate single-use plastic? How do urban economic actors become key players in reduce, reuse, and refill initiatives? And could the 2024 Olympics and Paralympics serve as an extra motivation?

    Join us as Justine Laurent, Managing Director of Circulab, explains the operational and relational support necessary for such transformative changes.

    Get ready to be inspired by global strategies and numerous examples, such as free-water fountains, collaborations with reuse initiatives, and incentives and certifications for economic players to help reshape our cities and villages by significantly reducing plastic use!

    Before we delve into the ongoing changes with our guest, I can’t resist sharing some freshly revealed data with you.

    Did you know that thanks to its zero single-use plastic ambition, Paris avoided 41 tonnes of plastic – the equivalent of 2.5 Parisian buses – in 2023?Did you know that more than 1,000 shops display a sticker indicating that anyone can freely fill their water bottle from their tap?And finally, did you know that – for the first time and due to its determination to make a difference – Paris secured around 200 soda fountains instead of bottles from the historic partner of the Games for the main festivities?

    Curious to know how all this became possible? This episode is for you!

    INTRODUCTION

    Have you ever been skeptical about a green logo? This one won't help you much; it's a gem in its own right!

    Luckily, we have Anne-Laure to clear things up, in just a few minutes, what you need to remember about it! Little hints: it has something to do with the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR, formerly PPWD, for Directive).

    The “Green Dot” is the 5th audio clip of the “Certifications Spotlight: Truths and Traps” series. This episode is very short and incisive. However, like the others, it unravels the mysteries behind one of the logos you find on the packaging. Let’s equip you with knowledge and critical thinking to decipher:

    its meaning,its application,its grey areas,and its pros and cons.

    Spoiler alert: Anne-Laure will be back for the next two episodes, where we'll dive into the Triman logo and the Möbius logo, one after the other!

Therefore she joined a citizen movement around this topic and co-founded ALPES CONSIGNE in 2020. She is now really glad to see the reuse system grow and to notice that even eco-organisms seem to get into working order to make reuse a reality and the norms for the upcoming years. Packaging reuse has become a reality in the past few years in France and has beautiful days forward.

    INTRODUCTION

    Imagine if competitive brands collectively adopted multi-use and standardized packaging.

    Imagine products exclusively housed in reusable packaging displayed on every retailer's shelf.

    Now, envision a seamless system where customers can return these refillable containers, ensuring their circulation for many years to come!

    Well, this is already happening with pioneers like Jo-Anne Chidley, the co-founder of Beauty Kitchen, a sustainable, natural personal care brand, and Reposit, a packaging-as-a-service platform.

    She shares a wealth of advice drawn from her experience in this episode! Get ready to learn about:

    How certifications like Cradle-to-Cradle and B-Corp serve as excellent guidelines for improvement (as her company broke records in the European cosmetic industry).The significance of values such as partnerships, collaborations, and community in fortifying a reuse business model.The paramount importance of modularity in constructing long-term, viable solutions (illustrated using the example of washing infrastructure).Measurements to better disrupt single-use and plastic packaging, with some key environmental and sales impacts!

    I admire how Jo is defeating preconceived ideas, and how she is opening revolutionary horizons for reuse!

    Have you ever wondered if the environmental claims or logos on your packaging were completely legit and adequate? Did you dive into it?

    Welcome to our new series: “Certifications Spotlight: Truths and Traps”!

    We'll unravel the mysteries behind the logos, certifications, and declarations you find on packaging.

    What do they really mean? When and where are they applied? Do they sometimes conceal key information?

    We'll weigh their pros and cons and explore the added value for everyone in the value chain, including end consumers.

    This series is the result of collaborations with experts who joined us with enthusiasm.

    Whether you're in the packaging or packaged goods industry, these episodes aim to equip you with knowledge and critical thinking to decipher what is too often put forward as foolproof guarantees.

    Today, as an introduction to many audio clips to come – with a focus on a certification or a logo in particular –, I invited Anne-Laure Bulliffon to globally explain

    the communication challenges of packaging environmental declarations, their different types, and what you can or can NOT say around them.

    INTRODUCTION

    Have you ever grasped the limits of our take-make-waste system and tooled you up for solutions? What if you could do that by playing?

    This episode is a summer special edition with Anne-France, the co-founder of the Circular Economy Collage. It is a workshop powered by collective intelligence to understand the issues of our existing global “linear” economy and the opportunities offered by the circular economy. In this interview, Anne-France explains with passion the Why, the How, and the What!

    Since 2020, the success of the Circular Economy Collage has had a huge impact on participants. And, before taking a break from broadcasting new episodes during the summer, I wanted to leave you with a perfect activity to experience no matter where you are in the world!

    It is a tool I enjoy using to educate toward impactful actions! And no later than a few minutes before I record this intro, a client told me that she was losing track of time because she was having so much fun with this playful and collective workshop. And I am pretty sure that will be your case very soon!

    INTRODUCTION

    Who hasn’t already used a paper bag/cup instead of a plastic one? Is it a (false) good idea? This is a crucial question to bring in the middle of the packaging Wild West!

    Luckily, in our series of «Wild W[a]st.e» audio clips, Mr & Mrs Recycling captured the paper and cardboard lobbyists' arguments for you: Are wood fiber-based packaging really

    made entirely from natural and renewable materials, lowering the carbon footprint,and reducing waste thanks to a good recycling system?

    In this episode, we also touch upon the questions about coating and food contact. So, would the paper be your «wanted» material or not?

    We invite you to (re)listen to the other «Wild W[a]st.e» audio clips and balance the pros and cons of all the materials we have chased on the Unboxing Your Packaging podcast!
