Sustainability Magazine’s Post

What is the difference between an “open” loop and a “closed” loop? Sustainability in packaging is a complex concept, so it is crucial we get the facts right. Our Chief Sustainability Officer, Jenny Wassenaar, shared her insights on the circular economy and the goal of reaching net zero with Sustainability Magazine ahead of next year’s Net Zero (SUSTAINABILITY LIVE) event. The interview explores our vision for sustainable packaging and the unique benefits of using metal. ⬇️ Dive in to learn more. #WeContainWhatMatters #sustainability #packaging #netzero #circulareconomy #sustainablepackaging

The long-term target of the Schoeller Allibert sustainability strategy is to be 100% circular by 2050. To make sure we stay right on track, in 2022 we decided to work with #Circulytics, a digital tool from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, that is designed to equip companies with the most comprehensive picture of their circular economy performance. We are proud to have been awarded an A- rating, on a scale of A to F. Achieving close to the highest possible score not only gives us great confidence about our approach but also encourages us to further accelerate circular solutions.

#TeamLuvent embraces the Circular Economy framework as a way to shift to a more inclusive and sustainable development approach. 🔄 The circular economy framework is the key to a more sustainable future. But what exactly is it and why should it matter to us, our environment, and our economy? ⏩ Environmental Protection: by reusing and recycling products, we conserve natural resources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and limit biodiversity loss;  ⏩ Reducing Raw Material Dependence: Recycling mitigates supply risks, like price volatility and import dependency, especially for critical raw materials vital for technologies like batteries and electric engines; ⏩ Creating Jobs and Saving Money: A circular economy fosters innovation, creates jobs (700,000 in the EU by 2030), and provides consumers with durable, innovative products while enhancing the quality of life and saving revenues in the long run. The circular economy framework revolves around sharing, leasing, reusing, repairing, and recycling materials and products to extend their lifecycle. It is a departure from the traditional linear model of take, make, consume, and throw away. This approach minimizes waste and keeps materials within the economy, reducing our environmental footprint. The #EuropeanUnion's commitment to the circular economy framework is leading the way. Initiatives like the Circular Economy Action Plan, adopted in 2020, and subsequent measures in 2021 and 2022, are propelling us towards a carbon-neutral, environmentally sustainable and circular economy by 2050. These steps involve promoting sustainable product design, empowering customers in decision-making, and setting binding targets for materials use and consumption by 2030. Luvent has worked on various circular economy projects – notably - In the Caribbean, where our work supports the reduction of waste generation, bans on single-use plastics and Styrofoam, and promotes private sector recycling efforts, paving the way for a sustainable and circular economy in the Caribbean.  - In 2021, Luvent Consulting, Trinity College Dublin, and the Danish Technical University, launched a pilot programme with partner cities and corporate partners to support startups transforming urban areas towards circular cities of the future, providing business development services, circular economy impact assessment tools, and facilitating significant investments and market expansion. Between 2010 and 2020, the EIT Climate-KIC Accelerator Programme has become the largest climate-focused acceleration programme globally.  - We also worked with the ProSEED 2.0 programme to support Albania's transition to a Green Economy by conducting sectoral SWOT analyses and providing recommendations for TVET/skills development, private sector interventions, and employment promotion strategies. #Circularity #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #Innovation
