Solving the complex struggles brand owners face in designing & developing sustainable packaging

By David Griffin, Senior Consultant at 42 Technology

In his article for FMCG CEO magazine, David highlights the complex struggles that brand owners face in designing and developing sustainable packaging.

Moving to more sustainable consumer goods packaging increasingly requires engagement at many levels in an organisation. But the challenge for enterprises going forward will be how to continually engage and manage a wider set of stakeholders than ever before.

In an ideal (but unrealistic) scenario, brand owners simply find sustainable direct replacements for their previous films, coatings or plastics, which leaves the product design, consumer experience and manufacturing process largely unaffected. However, in practice this is rarely the case.

This is where 42T's particular expertise can be so valuable. We are really good at helping clients on projects that are cross-function and where all stakeholders and processes are taken into consideration. This makes for a result that all levels of an enterprise will be happy with.

David adds, "Long-term competitive advantage lies in taking this kind of holistic approach."
