Reduced carbon footprint for supply packaging
In light of recent economic conditions and demand for sustainable solutions, the dairy industry sees warehouse space as expensive and is shifting from bulky packaging material to “skinny” packaging.
In light of recent economic conditions and demand for sustainable solutions, the dairy industry sees warehouse space as expensive and is shifting from bulky packaging material to “skinny” packaging. To cut costs for its customers, Charm Sciences has made several packaging innovations, while at the same time maintaining product integrity and increasing product shelf life.
For example, the original packaging of Charm ROSA kits formerly accounted for 40% of the overall carbon footprint of the product. A 100-test kit was packed in a 6-inch by 4-inch plastic container that was sealed in a plastic bag. The sealed bag was designed to reduce moisture transmission to maintain shelf life. Charm set about to reduce the carbon footprint, increase operational efficiency and extend product shelf life with new custom, space-efficient composite canisters. The new canisters eliminate the need for the sealed bags, and reduce waste by fitting 100 test strips in a smaller 5-inch by 4-inch container.
