“ WORLDWIDE CONCERNS OVER ENVIRONMENTAL
AND WASTE ISSUES ARE DRIVING
CONSUMERS TO DEMAND GREATER ENVIRONMENTAL
STEWARDSHIP”
RYAN YOST, PRESIDENT,
AVERY DENNISON MATERIALS GROUP
Going green makes business sense, too. Sustainable products were shown to represent about 31 % of CPG’ s growth between 2013 and 2023, despite accounting for just 18.5 % of CPG’ s sustainable market share.
Ryan Yost, President of the Avery Dennison Materials Group, explains why:“ Worldwide concerns over environmental and waste issues are driving consumers to demand greater environmental stewardship from companies that manufacture consumer products and make or use packaging,” he notes.
“ This concern directly translates to consumer buying preferences for sustainable products and for plastic, paper, cardboard and glass packaging that can be recycled, reused or disposed of responsibly.”
On a similar note, Ryan’ s colleague and Head of Enterprise Sustainability Michael Colarossi spoke on the problem of supply chain waste in a recent edition of Supply Chain Digital, calling it one of the primary challenges facing businesses from a sustainability perspective.
