Apr 30 · Companies should think more holistically about the link between packaging and carbon. What’s contributing to climate change? Everyone can probably name a few of the culprits: how we get around; how we produce energy; and maybe what we eat. Less top of mind? The things we buy, including what they’re made out of and how they’re packaged. For companies wanting to decarbonize, focusing solely on energy can stall efforts to tackle equally important sources of emissions.
