Our Consulting Services
We specialize in compostable products, paper packaging, bioplastics, and end-of-life waste management. Evaluating the entire value chain, we identify interventions that add value, and provide insights on sustainability throughout your new product development and its lifecycle. Consultancy is provided either on a project or hourly basis.
Compostable Products
The modern story of compostable products has its origin in fast food service ware and packaging. However, as more and more companies have committed to sustainability goals, and states and nations have begun to legislate against single-use materials, so the range and diversity of different compostable products has increased. Examples include home and personal care items, lifestyle accessories, apparel, and non-food packaging. Trust us to help you navigate the complex landscape of compostability claims, certification, and testing requirements.
Paper Packaging
Paper’s sustainability attributes and authenticity coupled with cutting edge innovation in the use of processing and performance additives is providing new, value-added opportunities like form-fill-seal, liquid containers, and novel formats. Global trends like anti-plastic sentiment, the rise in use of recycled fiber, import bans in international markets, and on-pack labeling programs in domestic markets are disrupting established pulp and paper norms and creating new possibilities and challenges. Rely on us to help navigate the new landscape for pulp and paper and make informed choices for your next packaging concept.
Bioplastics
The family of bioplastics offers a broad range of both drop-in replacements and unique properties to companies wishing to substitute fossil-based materials or evolve their sustainability and end-of-life management strategies.
Let us help you make material selection choices based on sustainable sourcing, performance-in-use, or end-of-life criteria.
End-of-Life Management
Re-use, recycle or compost are key end-of-life design considerations towards the goal of diverting materials from landfill or zero-waste. Count on us to help make sense of material selection, product application, and alignment of material origins, performance in use with the most appropriate end-of-life management options. We’ll provide guidance on evidencing your claims with repulpability and recyclability testing.
