Packaging Sustainability for Helpful Brands
Introducing the first deep dive into the BillerudKorsnäs Consumer Panel
Packaging Sustainability for Helpful Brands Packaging is a clear point of contact with the consumer, regardless of sales channel, and therefore a strategic tool for a brand that is helpful in people’s increasing ambition to become more sustainable-oriented in everyday actions and choices. Brand owners that clearly empowers consumers to act more sustainable are in high demand among global consumers.
In our Consumer Panel Report 2017, the highest index score of all was on the opportunity for brands to differentiate by packaging sustainability, giving clear benefits to the consumer to act more sustainable. Be it easier recycling, reducing food waste or a beneficiary second and third use of packaging.
Those benefits, if communicated, would be powerful to show that you are a helpful brand. The only long-term winners will be the brands and corporation that are perceived as really helpful. Because all consumer (and B2B customers) will feel sure that they are part of the solution – not the problem.
