The Truly Sustainable Way To Grow Your Brand

Saving the planet is the next normal

The Coronavirus pandemic ranks among the most disruptive financial events in modern history and it has been a financial disaster for many. As the economy begins to recover from the devastating effects of COVID19, consumer research on buyer habits makes it clear that the next normal is all about saving the planet.

For most consumers, adopting a more sustainable lifestyle starts at home, recycling or composting waste. The next area of focus is reconsidering how we shop and consume, whether it is limiting consumption of single-use plastic or other planet polluting materials, reducing the number of new products they buy, eating less meat, or by buying local and more seasonal products and opting for products with a lower carbon footprint and lower carbon modes of transport.

The message is loud and clear. Today, consumers want to live more sustainably! Many expect businesses to play a responsible role when it comes to the planet and will support brands that are taking action to become more environmentally conscious and operating their business with lower impact.

Our responsibly sourced materials

‍Refibr.

When wheat is milled or sugarcane is pressed, a fibrous plant residue remains. This byproduct is called bagasse, a fibrous pulp which up until recently went to waste. We've taken that trash and turned it into treasure! This wonder-material birthed our Refibr. Products.

FSC Paper

Deforestation is a complex problem. While there is no silver bullet, there are things we can do to make a big difference to save our forests. Buying responsibly sourced 'FSC Certified' wood products is a good place to start.

Creating loyal customers

You don't just want customers who recognise your brand and use your business once — you want to create customers who continue to come back. With good branding, you can give your brand a more human side, which your customers can relate to more than a company that's strictly all business.

Your brand is the entire identity of your business. There’s a huge amount of competition today, so companies must go the extra mile to ensure they stand out in a crowd. Branding can help build trust, but this isn’t always easy to gain.

Custom branding on truly sustainable packaging is an investment your business is making to improve itself (and improve the planet!). Potential customers will recognise that you put in the work to create your brand and are dedicated to your environmental responsibility.

A holistic form of green branding

A holistic form of green branding is an attempt to solidify your company as environmentally, economically, and socially responsible. Custom branding on “truly” sustainable packaging - demonstrates a holistic form of green branding. Be open with your consumers about where you source your sustainable materials and how you match up your green marketing with tangible business practices.

Using sustainable packaging that uses responsibly sourced, plastic-free, home compostable and recyclable materials establishes your company as environmentally, economically, and socially responsible.  Custom branding helps attract customers, while sustainable packaging upholds your ethical core values.
