Inside Innovation: Packaging Perspectives #14

Welcome to my latest LinkedIn newsletter and last of 2023. ??

This is my personal account of the world of packaging. ThePackHub continues to provide lots of news and views and a new LinkedIn weekly newsletter (make sure you're one of the 12K followers).

Packaging Innovation Watch

I focus on a particular LinkedIn post each week that gets the packaging network liking, sharing, and commenting.

London-based Moree helps food brands ditch single-use packaging. The business has developed a sustainable packaging solution, focusing on reusable pouches suitable for direct food contact, aimed primarily at dry goods.?

Brands can access Moree’s reusable packaging on a pay-per-use model. Returning these pouches is simplified through Moree’s RetEarn app, where customers can send back used packaging and accumulate points. These points not only foster brand loyalty but also enhance customer engagement.

Customers return their empty pouches via pre-paid envelopes, Moree then cleans these pouches and returns them to the brand owners in pristine condition. This system allows brands to focus on their products without worrying about logistical details, as Moree manages the return, cleaning, and delivery of the packaging.

Catching up with great contacts

Ending the year with some great face-to-face meetings (I appreciate this more than ever since what happened in 2020/21). I met up with Matthew Rogerson , Chris Baker and Gabriella Beyer-King recently to discuss various packaging projects. You might have seen me post about them in my LinkedIn feed. :-).

Whilst mmeting Chris at Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC) ENGAGE, he showed me his Fyllar refill kit. Take a look at the demo that I recorded below:

Well, that's me for this year. I look forward to more packaging news and innovation in 2024. I'd like to wish you a relaxing and enjoyable festive break.

Until next time, happy innovating.
