Relevant Examples
We’ve done this before. Here’s a few relevant examples in the snack-packaging realm that we’ve helped to create a more circular package.
Creminelli Meat & Cheese Trays
Creminelli strives for packaging that reflects the values of their organization. Enhancing the sustainability of the thermoformed tray was seen as an opportunity for improvement, and a differentiator for consumers.
Tyson Hillshire Snack Trays
As Tyson expands its brand, they value finding a sustainable way to do it. The goal of this initiative was to ensure package compatibility with curbside mechanical recycling by leveraging APRs Critical Guidance Recognition Program.
Starbucks Cold Drink Lids
Incorporating circular design principles to reduce or eliminate unnecessary packaging components was the primary goal. Starbucks enlisted Plastic Ingenuity to assist with this opportunity.
How did Plastic Ingenuity maintain a 90% on time delivery during the pandemic and supply chain issues?
And now, we’re right back to where we started pre-pandemic: on-time delivery 99% of the time. During the unprecedented supply chain disruptions, Plastic Ingenuity relied on our 50 years of vertical integration to stabilize the supply chain for our customers. Over 90% of the time, PI was able to maintain standard lead times.
