Description

Whether you’re a consumer or a business, we all have a role to play when it comes to using sustainable packaging.


Taking a step in the right direction is better than not taking any step at all.


Finding out how you can make a switch to sustainable packaging, understanding what materials the packaging is made of, and taking the time to separate recyclable items are paramount in helping to protect the environment.


How can consumers, as well as businesses, make the switch? Is cost a deciding factor? Where can they go for more information and support?


That’s why I’m talking to Brad Levin, Senior Sales and Sustainability Manager at Millennium Group. Brad is on a mission to encourage companies to “think green” when it comes to product packaging. In this conversation, he highlights some challenges and provides some recommendations on how we can make the switch to packaging that’s more sustainable.
