1 In packaging, even simple can be complex. We re here to make the complex simple again. Sustainability Through Design

3 3 Sustainable Companies What does one look like? This means they are meeting the triple bottom line

4 4 Packaging Packaging has two functions 1. Protect and deliver the product 2. Sell the product Nothing is less sustainable than a package that fails at either of its primary functions.

5 5 Sustainable Packaging SPC Definition of a Sustainable Package Is beneficial, safe & healthy for individuals and communities throughout its life cycle; Meets market criteria for both performance and cost; Is sourced, manufactured, transported, and recycled using renewable energy; Optimizes the use of renewable or recycled source materials; Is manufactured using clean production technologies and best practices; Is made from materials healthy in all probable end of life scenarios; Is physically designed to optimize materials and energy; Is effectively recovered and utilized in biological and/or industrial closed loop cycles.

47 Materials Choices Last year, (2008) Starbucks replaced its industry-standard polyethylene terephthalate (PET) cold cup with a polypropylene (PP) alternative in the U.S., Canada and Latin America. This change was the result of a study by external lifecycle scientists who calculated that PP cups use 15 percent less plastic than PET cups and emit 45 percent fewer greenhouse gases during their production. Unlike PET cups, PP cups do not contaminate other PP containers when comingled for recycling. While PET bottles are widely recyclable, PET cups are difficult to recycle in most communities.
