LIFE Initiative
Hi Cynthia, thank you for posting about this! Good to see you here. Do you mind posting about Channeled Resources' recycling programs? Your programs are little known outside the industry, in fact most packaging professionals give little thought to labels, not realizing the waste that is produced. It'd be great to share what you're doing as a company and what we're doing as an industry to mitigate this waste.
Nothing will 'save the earth'
Lisa, very insightful post. I have to start by saying, 'NOTHING will save the earth because the earth is not in trouble! We, as humans may be in trouble, but the planet will do just fine without us! What we do need to do is make it a cleaner, more hospitable place for our children which is why I started on the path to sustainability. The best way to keep our planet cleaner is to cut down fewer trees, conserve water, and use less energy when producing AND recycling products. As packaging professionals and experts we are in the unique and powerful (as it relates to our discussion here) position of being able to effect a change in the way we source, produce, and recommend packaging materials. Those who know me know that I put FiberStone® tree-free, water-free, water-proof paper at the top of my packaging wish-list. I'd like to see everything printed on and packaged in FiberStone® which is why it has been my personal mission to collaborate on the development of FiberStone® bags, pouches, labels, tags, banners and lot's of other stone paper products. Beyond this, I love the move to reduce packaging that we're seeing, I'm leery of bioplastics and oxodegradables, and I'm growing a bit tired of all of the talk about recycling. Recycling is great, but it won't 'save the planet', all it does is 'save landfill', something we're not running out of! Expecting lot's of challenges on that last one! PS- I DO believe that we can balance green with green currency! In fact, we've helped several clients 'lead the charge' with FiberStone® and, as a result be rewarded with free press and, in turn increased sales!
