"A circular economy of packaging will help decouple economic development from the use of natural resources, contribute to achieving climate neutrality by 2050 and halting biodiversity loss, and reduce the EU economyʼs strategic dependency on many materials."

SPHERE: the packaging sustainability framework
SPHERE was developed by Quantis, EA and South Pole for the WBCSD and was recently launched in mid-April 2022. The frameworks enables companies to make science-driven decisions to reduce their packaging impacts and addresses the limitations of existing methodologies through a comprehensive framework based on six principles: packaging efficiency, circularity, impact on climate change and biodiversity loss, absence of harmful substances and waste mismanagement.
A methodology to map, measure and forecast plastic leakage
The first step in building a robust plastics strategy is to evaluate your plastic footprint across the value chain. Quantis supports corporate- and product-level assessments through comparative life cycle assessments, circularity assessments, plastic leakage assessments and plastic footprints. Plastic footprints are powered by the Plastic Leak Project Guidelines. Through these methodologies, we’ll identify your plastic “hotspots” and prioritize action, avoiding trade-offs between one environmental impact and another.

Packaging: the carbon dilemma for food companies
Quantis’ Laura Peano, Global Plastics Lead, shared her insights with Just Food, emphasizing that sustainable packaging is still important to address as it is the first touchpoint with consumers. When addressing the climate impact of packaging, companies may be undermining efforts in other sustainability areas and shifting impacts. This is why it’s key to take a planetary boundaries approach — “brands must go beyond carbon, looking at biodiversity, plastic pollution and circularity.”
Brands get creative to ditch secondary packaging
Laura Peano was interviewed by Raconteur to share insights on how brands are making moves to meet consumer expectations for reduced packaging — and using it as an opportunity to innovate. The article unpacks how brands from different industries are tackling packaging challenges at a time when prioritizing consumer experience is still the norm.
Five steps to prepare for a new global plastic pollution treaty
Countries must now work together to reduce plastic pollution and align with planetary boundaries for current and future generations. We need urgent action, and companies, governments and consumers must play their part. Here are five strategic steps that companies should be taking to prepare for the signing of the upcoming UN Treaty on Plastic Pollution.
