Objective and Scope:
The client, a global FMCG company, wanted to assess its readiness for sustainable packaging by looking at related dynamics in the space across industries. For this, it wanted Benori’s support in:
- Identifying technologies, products, and partners providing scalable solutions for rigid and flexible packaging
- Shortlisting solutions that are recyclable by design, environmentally compostable, have a low carbon footprint, and a zero fossil fuel feedstock approach
Approach:
The research included information capturing around technologies, patents, products, and start-ups in the rigid and flexible sustainable packaging space. We looked for various universities and their research work in this field. Partner scouting was conducted through primary research to understand how these universities, start-ups, and other companies have invested in sustainable packaging and to gather insights to support the client’s requirements.
Impact:
The research helped the client to take strategic business decisions towards capability building in:
- Superior recycled materials for rigids such as High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Polypropylene (PP), and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
- Fully recyclable flexibles
- Non-persistent biodegradable flexibles
