Seeing solutions in action helps us bridge the gap between innovation and impact. ?

State-by-state packaging regulations are evolving fast—are you ready? California’s SB 54 bill is setting new sustainability standards, requiring all single-use packaging to be recyclable or compostable by 2032.

What does SB 54 mean for your business? ?? How can brands future-proof packaging strategies? ?? What are the risks of non-compliance? We break it all down in our latest article.

Each quarter, the SmartSolve team steps out of the office for a dedicated #CultureDay —giving us time to think strategically, get inspired, and, of course, have some fun! Since #Innovation is a core value of ours, we took Q1’s Culture Day to The Henry Ford Museum of Innovation, where we explored groundbreaking ideas, past and present. From hands-on exhibits to seeing history’s most transformative inventions up close, it was a day full of learning, creativity, and team bonding. We left with plenty of inspiration—and maybe even a few new ideas of our own! ?? Looking forward to what’s next! Ford Motor Company #Culture #Ford #Inspiration #TeamBuilding #SmartSolve

Single-serve food and drink packaging is everywhere—from granola bars to electrolyte powders. Food packaging alone accounts for nearly 40% of global plastic production. The good news? Bio-based packaging is changing the game. By using renewable resources, brands can reduce reliance on fossil fuels, meet consumer demand for sustainable options, and rethink the footprint of packaged goods. ?? Next time you're in the grocery aisle, look for packaging with a purpose—it’s a small choice that makes a big impact. ??

While consumers are used to seeing labels like #recyclable ?? and #biodegradable ?? on their bag of coffee beans, bio-based is a little more mysterious. ?? #BioBased is a relatively new term when it comes to sustainable packaging. Bio-Based packaging is made of materials most often derived from plants, like corn starch ??, sugarcane, cellulose (wood pulp) ??, and even algae or fungal mycelium ??. These materials are gaining popularity due to their reduced environmental footprint ?? compared to traditional petroleum-based plastics. Explore how adopting bio-based packaging can enhance your brand's sustainability efforts and appeal to eco-conscious consumers.
