The Top 6 Packaging Sustainability Blogs
As one of the UK’s leading packaging design and production specialists, WK360 keep an eye on evolving trends so that our clients can be confident of getting the latest advice. In 2022, sustainability is the topic at the front of everyone’s minds. Here’s a quick guide to our favourite blogs, which we hope you’ll enjoy, too!
1) Sustainable Packaging Coalition
The go-to resource for every update regarding sustainability and packaging is found in the news section of the Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC). Although based in the USA, the SPC has a global mission to “educate industry decision-makers and equip them with the tools necessary to make informed design choices.” To do this, the SPC offers a toolbox of resources and services that companies can access to improve their environmental responsibility. The SPC includes a subscription service that unlocks a wealth of information, counting big names such as Coca-Cola Co., Starbucks, and McDonald’s amongst their member organisations. However, their blog, which documents international legislative changes, innovations, and case studies relating to sustainable packaging, is free to access.
2) Remesh
Founded in 2014, digital connectivity platform Remesh’s mission statement is to “truly represent the will of the people and amplify their collective voice.” Marketing specialist and blogger Anika Nishat is consistently on the ball when it comes to sustainable development, and her insights embed the information in well-researched context. The Remesh blog has a strong focus on exploring public opinions, so is an excellent resource for predicting emerging consumer trends relating to sustainable development.
3) Grounded
Few companies take sustainable packaging substrates as seriously as Grounded. Their business is focused on the development and promotion of ecologically sensitive substrates, and the Grounded blog is a treasure trove of information about everything from sustainable packaging logistics to design innovations. The website takes a little effort to navigate, so click subscribe on this one to make sure you don’t miss out.
4) Mushroom Blogs
At WK360, we are keeping a very close eye on the evolution of mycelium as a packaging material. Easy to produce, completely biodegradable, and potentially cost-effective, research suggests that it is highly likely that mushrooms will become the go-to packaging material. Currently, the companies specialising in mycelium packaging are relatively limited in what they can offer, and this means that prices are high. However, keep an eye on various mushroom company blogs to get ready for the shift.
5) Packaging News
If you want to keep ahead of the game when it comes to understanding legislation and regulation, head to packaging news. The group specialise in trawling extensive documentation to offer industry insight, and the blog will also direct readers towards upcoming events and seminars related to sustainability. Packaging News offer regular case studies regarding recycling, regulation, and carbon management, giving insight into how a diverse range of companies are responding to the challenge.
6) WK630
The specialists at WK360 keep a close eye on packaging blogs, conferences, summits, and technological innovations, so subscribing to our blog is one of the most efficient ways of getting professional insight into the latest news. Our goal is to guide clients toward solutions that are cost-effective, efficient, and sustainable, so as we head into a year where packaging will be at the forefront of innovation, we’ll be bringing regular updates and critical analysis.
