Not destruction but disruption is the solution to circularity in drinks packaging

Sustainability at the forefront of environmental agendas and circularity in drinks packaging can’t be achieved just thinking of recyclable materials, but the entire value-chain needs to be disrupted. The linear or conventional circular ‘take-make-dispose/recycle/return’ model of packaging material usage has long been tried, however, this model still has loopholes that require disruption at almost every level of the value chain to truly contribute to the circular economy.

Respect for nature as a design inspiration – In collaboration with Pentawards

For several years, society, brands and design have been seeking to reconnect with nature, a fundamental trend that has accelerated since the pandemic.
A reconnection that manifests itself through a perpetual quest for sustainability with innovative approaches to eco-design; but also through graphic and aesthetic codes that highlight the profound nature of brands through their history, their terroir or their know-how.
