We look for 4 main sustainability criteria for our packaging formats:
1. To only use recycled or renewable materials
2. To use as little material as possible
3. To use packaging formats
with a low carbon footprint
4. To use packaging formats
for which there is a widely available
sustainable waste management option
28. reduce virgin finite materials

a 100% rPET bottle – a global first

50. Our website
We keep our consumers informed of our sustainability work on our website, with
frequent blog posts too
Lesson 3: Engage your consumer
51. smoothie footprints
We worked with the carbon trust to launch carbon labelling, although we haven’t yet
put these on our bottles as consumer understanding of the concept is too low
52. consumer context
Instead, we have tried to make the information meaningful with our idea for a daily
allowance of CO2 per person
53. summary
We are at the beginning of a journey. We are no way near good enough.
But we know where to go, and how to get there.
