Better Packaging Co

Ocean NGOs, investors and brands urge COP31 to make Zero Waste count for the climate by recognising the carbon saved when recycled plastic replaces virgin. The first answer is always to reduce: to make and use less. But billions of tonnes of plastic already exist, and much of it is mismanaged in the coastal communities least equipped to deal with it. When that material is intercepted before it reaches the ocean and recycled into products that replace virgin plastic, it does two jobs at once. It keeps plastic out of the sea, and it avoids the emissions of making new material.

This guide walks through each of our ranges, POLLAST!C, Compostable, Bamboo and 0PACKS, with the words that work, the ones to avoid, and why. Whether it's in an EDM to your customers or a mention on the Responsibility page of your website, you should be proud to talk about why you've made the Better packaging choices you have. However, regulators in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the EU and the US are cracking down on vague, unsubstantiated green claims, and your customers can spot fluff a mile away.
