It seems sustainability is everywhere in the packaging industry, but what happens when consumers don’t have the right guidance or the means to recycle in the first place?
Hello, my name is Sam and I don’t recycle. It’s been more than three years since I recycled anything, and I order nearly everything online. I’m excited to be here as the new associate editor for Flexible Packaging and Packaging Strategies, so let me explain myself. After all, I used to list “Eco Warrior” on my resume back in the day. More on that later.
I’m moving this month (yes, I’ve been saving all the boxes), and the first thing I did after signing the lease was to request a big, blue recycling bin from the city. When I got the keys to my new place, I brought along the recycling I collected over the past couple weeks and filled the bin to the brim. That’s because the city I was living in doesn't have curbside recycling service.
