EPR Costs and answering compostable packaging questions on the Packaging Today Show with Cory and Evelio

People of Packaging · 28 Feb 2024 · 30m

What this episode covers

Packaging experts Evelio Mattos, Adam Peek, and Cory Connors discuss the expanding landscape of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations in the US and their potential to increase consumer costs. They critically analyze the viability of compostable packaging, highlighting infrastructure gaps, consumer confusion, and the reality that landfills are anaerobic environments where materials do not break down. The group emphasizes that a multifaceted approach to sustainability is necessary, rather than relying on a single solution like compostables.

    From Make-Use-Throw Away to Circular: Plastics Manufacturing’s Next Chapter w/ Ross Eisenberg

    Ross Eisenberg, President of America’s Plastic Makers (the plastics division of the American Chemistry Council), discusses the industry's shift from a linear 'make-use-throw away' model to a circular economy driven by advanced chemical recycling. He explains how chemical recycling processes like pyrolysis and depolymerization can handle flexible plastics and contaminated waste that mechanical recycling cannot, effectively 'unbaking' plastic back to its molecular building blocks. Eisenberg highlights the regulatory hurdles facing the industry, specifically the need for federal legislation like the Recycling Technology Innovation Act and the Recycle Materials Attribution Act to clarify permitting and grant credit for recycled content to brands.

    The Human Driver of Sustainable Manufacturing w/ Mark Remmert

    Mark Remmert, CEO of Green Dot Bioplastics, discusses the transition from petroleum-based to plant-based polymers, arguing that sustainability is driven by the human instinct for survival rather than just efficiency. He explains that bioplastics are currently disadvantaged by economies of scale, making them more expensive than petrochemicals, but highlights specific applications like compostable mulch film and fast food packaging where biodegradability offers functional advantages. Remmert notes that while adoption is slow due to patchwork composting infrastructure, recent government initiatives, including a White House report and California mandates, are creating a potential tipping point for the industry.

    Intelligent Dumpsters and Sustainable Waste Disposal with Ben Chehebar, VP of Hardware at RoadRunner Recycling, and Jason Gates, Senior VP of Strategy at RoadRunner Recycling

    Ben Chehebar and Jason Gates, founders of Compology (now part of RoadRunner Recycling), explain how they pivoted from a residential anaerobic digester concept to building smart connected cameras that monitor dumpster fill levels and contamination. They detail the hardware challenges of creating rugged, long-life devices using Cat M cellular connectivity and machine learning, and discuss how they overcame resistance from waste haulers by selling directly to large waste generators like McDonald's and Starbucks. The episode covers their acquisition by RoadRunner, the integration of their technology into outsourced waste management, and the broader shift in corporate incentives toward ESG reporting and cost reduction.

    S1 E8: Tackling Industrial Design and Regenerative Materials with PROWL

    Lauryn Menard and Bailey Mishler, co-founders of PROWL studio, discuss integrating industrial design early in the product development cycle to bridge business, marketing, and engineering. They define regenerative materials, distinguishing between circular materials like recycled textile boards and bio-based options such as biofabrication and biosynthetics. The guests address the 15-25% cost markup of these materials, attributing it to scale rather than inherent expense, and advocate for a 'begin at the end' design philosophy to mitigate climate impact.

    8: Packaging

    Dan Provost and Tom Gerhardt of Studio Neat discuss the strategic role of packaging in their direct-to-consumer business, contrasting their minimalist, mail-optimized designs with Apple's high-end retail packaging. They detail specific solutions for products like the Neat Ice Kit and Cosmonaut, explaining how they balance custom printing with off-the-shelf components from suppliers like U-Line to manage costs and assembly labor. The conversation highlights the trade-offs between aesthetic delight and operational efficiency, particularly when dealing with third-party fulfillment centers and shipping constraints.
