Today I read a report stating sustainable #palmoil is sold at a 10% premium. Those who buy palm oil should expect responsibly harvested oil as a standard. Use the example of the paper industry. Responsible fiber is a standard. #sustainability # leadership. xitter.gq/richardbranson/status/…
The Leuser Ecosystem in Sumatra is the last place on earth where elephants, orangutans, rhinos and tigers roam in the same forest – but sadly probably not for much longer unless consumers stop buying illegally produced palm oil virg.in/JQH

I don't think that packing up rubbish and shipping it to China should be considered recycling. Time to get serious back home with regard to what we are doing. There are better ways to reduce, reuse and recycle #sustainability #leadership xitter.gq/SustainBrands/status/9…

The average consumer does not have a real appreciation of the power they possess. Act in concert with other consumers, who share your principles and convictions. This is an opportunity for change. Millennials turning to clothing brands they can trust sbne.ws/r/yOT9

NextWave effort looks to reduce plastics entering oceans sbne.ws/r/yIoU All of this material can be recycled and reused. This, in turn, reduces demand on virgin resin. Good for all of us, not only the fish in the sea.

By 2050, there may be more plastic in our #oceans than marine life. How @Dell and NGOs hope to reverse this crisis: ow.ly/PsAC30hcBzC #supplychain #ESG

Braskem's sugarcane based bioplastic to be used to package Leafgro bags packagingmaterials.packaging… The bio-based molecule is the same as the molecule from crude oil when it gets in the waste stream. RECYCLING IS THE SOLUTION! #sustainability #recycling # leadership

Sustainability with plastics requires elimination of lost material through waste. This in combination with recycling, in some form, of everything leads to zero environmental impact and eventually reduced demand on virgin material. #averydennison #sustainability #leadership #label

The cornerstone of our sustainability journey was our responsible paper policy. The money we spend on paper products supports only responsible forestry practices. With the support of the RA we have successfully set a standard for our industry. #averydennison #sustainability
