Client: Global E-Commerce Platform
The Context & Challenge:
  • Over the past decade, the global packaging industry has witnessed remarkable growth, creating tremendous value. Sustainable packaging has evolved beyond a sole emphasis on recycling, and it now encompasses a variety of dimensions including cost efficiencies, meeting consumer preferences, facilitating business growth, reducing environmental impact, and adhering to regulations and market trends. 
  • A global consumer internet group and one of the largest technology investors in the world wanted to identify  sustainable packaging solutions available across food and grocery delivery, and etail sectors. 
The Deliverable:
  • Ubuntoo identified innovative solutions and best practices for reducing, replacing, recycling, reusing, and closing the loop on packaging. The project was carried on as part of the global commitment of the client to develop shared opportunities to accelerate positive impact in the field of packaging solutions across its food and grocery delivery as well as etail segments. Ubuntoo also developed a thought leadership report with a global perspective on the role of online service platforms in promoting sustainable packaging. The document provides insights into the concept of sustainable packaging, positions the role of platforms in implementing closed-loop solutions and outlines challenges and opportunities in the sector. 
The Result:
  • Ubuntoo’s work serves as a guide for action to the client’s portfolio companies operating in the sectors of etail, food and grocery delivery globally and provides a tangible roadmap to improve packaging sustainability. The report is currently used as a foundation for the development of subsequent in-depth research focusing on specific geographical markets.
