Increasing the amount of recyclable packaging is currently the best solution to the natural product industry’s contribution to landfills, according to Jeremiah C. McElwee, senior vice president of merchandising and product development, Thrive Market. But the goal is to one day offer a package that benefits the environment and consumer, rather than being garbage. Packaging can one day be regenerative rather than sustainable or destructive. In this podcast with Sandy Almendarez, editor in chief, INSIDER, McElwee discusses his passion for finding a packaging solution. They cover:
The balance that brands need to find between affordable products and packaging innovations that haven’t reached economies of scale.
The ways Thrive Market reduces its incoming and outbound packaging materials.
The problem with compostable and bio-based packaging.
