I want to create a system on how to go from a less sustainable package to a more sustainable packaging. Maybe we can call it "The Contempo Method".

Recycling is not dead, but we need to recycle better. When you go to your local recycling plant, you will see plastics sorted and then later ground up to then be shipped to a product manufacturer to turn those plastics into new products.

There are 5 ideologies to sustainable packaging, as we discussed before, and I want to take some time to elaborate a bit more to each of those 5 paths. Eventually, I am hopeful that we all can be very clear on what we mean when we say "sustainable packaging", so it's not vague and we can talk more clearly about what you want for your brand! The 5 paths for environmentally safe packaging are, to recap, recyclable, made from recycled materials, renewable, reusable, and degradable additives to plastics. Do you want to collaborate?
