Welcome to another insightful episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast! I’m Tom Raftery, and today, I had the pleasure of speaking with Elizabeth Corbett, President of the Enterprise Team at A.E. Global. Elizabeth brings over 25 years of expertise in packaging, focusing on sustainability and innovation.

In this episode, Elizabeth shares her journey from graphic design to leading a top packaging company. We delve into the critical aspects of sustainable packaging, from the importance of right-sizing to reducing plastic use and exploring compostable materials. Elizabeth highlights the impact of regulations and consumer demand on sustainable practices and offers practical advice for businesses aiming to reduce their environmental footprint.

A key takeaway is the significance of educating consumers about sustainability initiatives. Elizabeth emphasises that small changes, like incorporating post-consumer materials or reducing packaging size, can make a substantial difference. We also discuss the future of compostability and biodegradability in packaging and the need for improved recycling and composting infrastructure.

Tune in to learn how sustainable packaging not only benefits the planet but also enhances brand reputation and efficiency. Don’t miss this enlightening conversation with one of the industry's leading experts in sustainable packaging.
