Do you know that 81% of shoppers in Europe consider food waste as their second biggest worry right after concern over plastic (88%)?
With Brexit negotiations hanging in the balance, and the prospect of a no-deal looming ever larger, what should you do to prepare?
Plastic is the new public enemy number one. But how should the industry, which is so reliant on plastic as a packaging solution, respond?
What goes on behind the scenes in any retail environment may not be seen by many but is a massive operation requiring streamlined logistics solutions.
While many exported British products are aimed at European customers, a looming no-deal Brexit is causing many to look to new and emerging markets in the face of the uncertainty this is causing.
Is plastic packaging your friend or foe? Are you making sustainable decisions that will retain your customers and attract new ones? Sustainability is high on every agenda and an opportunity for brands and retailers to make a difference to the planet and your bottom line.
