Last November 9th, we've been organising our 5th Get Wasted Session focusing on Packaging, Material Choice & Design for recyclability. For the occasion, we welcomed the Regional Head of Sustainable Business at Unilever who touched upon how the company intended to reach their 2025 goals to recycle 100% of plastic packaging. We also had the Packaging Director at GSK sharing how to reach a Circular Economy through packaging. And finally, the Executive Director of the Global Compact Network Singapore. Wish you a great reading!

distribution, storage, retailing and end-use
• A means of ensuring safe delivery of product to the
consumer in sound condition at the minimum overall cost
• A techno-economic function aimed at minimizing costs of
delivery while maximizing sales (and hence profits)
• Packaging is the ‘silent salesman’
• The final opportunity to remind the consumer of the
product's qualities at the point of purchase
