Changing consumer habits is essential in making progress on reducing retail/consumer goods waste. The below is a straight-forward perspective about what to consider in bulk buying, as an option to reduce waste.

The rise of skin packaging reflects the growing demand for durability, product appeal, and sustainability. Its snug design enhances freshness and shelf life, especially in the food sector, while addressing e-commerce needs with innovative features like QR codes for traceability. As manufacturers adopt eco-friendly materials, skin packaging aligns with global sustainability goals, shaping the future of smart packaging solutions. 🌱📦

Loved this balanced perspective on how to approach bulk shopping: "But experts say the experience offers the chance to think differently about how you shop — a good habit to develop regardless of where you buy your groceries. “Being in a refillery really forces you to think about how much you need of something because you’re paying by weight,” Meiffren-Swango said. “You’re kind of forced to be a more thoughtful consumer.” #zerowaste #circularity #circulareconomy #circularinnovation

Your process is for your company, but it's also for your customer. And these two values can sometimes compete. So who do you choose? ❓❓ Let me give you an example I experienced personally this week that also serves as a reason I'd suggest you ultimately lean towards customer experience. I ordered new washcloths from Boll & Branch . I love their commitment to organic textiles, their CSR efforts, and their offer of traceability for each product. Honestly, I just love them generally. (So Boll & Branch, please know that this criticism is offered out of pure love 💚 and desire for us ALL to improve together.) Thing is, I ordered 16 washcloths. They have washcloths pre-bundled in packs of 2, wrapped around a piece of cardboard and tied up in a cute little ribbon. Normally, I'd find this adorable. But after undoing 8 packs I was much less enthused. I had a box full of cardboard and ribbon waste and I'd spent a lot longer unpackaging than 16 washcloths should really take. And I had branded ribbon, so I couldn't even reuse it for the coming holiday season without being that weird aunt (let's be honest, I might still do it). 😬 Why does Boll & Branch sell their washcloths this way? For the same reason that Costco sells individually wrapped paper towels in a bundle of 24 paper towel rolls. It means that they can grab 2 or 24 from the same space and it's faster for their workers. No matter what, the right amount is ready. Imagine the time gains! ⏰ The process makes their work extremely efficient. And efficiency for your company and employees is important. In fact, I've written many times on LinkedIn about how important process is to build positive culture and a great employee experience. The challenge is, the efficiency is totally lost on the customer side. I lost 5 minutes of my evening unbundling washcloths. Is this a huge, devastating loss of time for me? Of course not. But it did leave a sour taste in my mouth and a big box of cardboard in my recycling bin. ♻️ You don't want to gain efficiency on your end by sacrificing efficiency on the customer end. So when you build a process, think through what the end customer experience will be. If, like Boll & Branch, your customers are likely to be concerned about the environment, think about the waste impact of your efficiency. We've all been there - we've made life easier for our company than for our customers. But your employees get paid to work for you, so they'll be a lot more likely to come back if the process is a little sticky. Your customers may not. #processmapping #process #businessoperations #efficiency #bizops #sustainability #customerexperience #cx Picture of my beautiful new washcloths along with all the junk that I had to work through to get to them.
