Setting Sights on Circularity
ClimeCo has a plastic action & circular economy platform.
Blue Farm’s ultimate goal is to influence the way their industry thinks about using plastics, including big brands and multinationals. This is a lofty ambition for a small business, but they hope their response to the climate emergency and their work with ClimeCo will encourage their peers to do the same — quicker than they might have otherwise.
Challenge:
Blue Farm started with a simple mission: to create products that are good for their customers and protect the environment. Blue Farm’s innovative plant-based milk alternatives, an oat drink in powder form to mix yourself, focus on convenience that is both healthy and sustainable.
Before engaging with ClimeCo’s Plastic Action & Circular Economy Platform, Blue Farm had already taken commendable steps toward minimizing the plastics in their operations and supply chain:
- Selling in Bulk/Zero Waste Stores: Encouraging circular commerce builds momentum behind minimal product packaging and decreases transportation emissions.
- Implementing Compact by Design Principles: By selling their product as a powder, Blue Farm minimizes excess packaging waste of beverage cartons; one pack of Blue Farm Oat Base can mix up to 8 liters of oat drink and saves 8 tetra pak containers.
- 100% Monoplastic: Implementing 100% monoplastic into their product packaging increases the likelihood of end-of-life recycling.
To further their commitment to best practices, Blue Farm chose to partner with ClimeCo “to convey a steadfast commitment to bring about a better society and planet.”
Solution:
Blue Farm’s journey with ClimeCo began with data collection and analysis.
Through ClimeCo’s plastic accounting engine, we identified and mapped the plastics used throughout their operations and supply chain. Our analytics dashboard accounts for their plastic waste generation, leakage, and ecosystem impact so Blue Farm can easily discern their plastic hotspots.
Next, their data points informed bespoke recommendations and opportunities for reduction, optimization, and investment. Through these recommendations, Blue Farm could set transparent short- and long-term strategies to optimize its use of plastics while keeping overall carbon emissions in mind.
Results:
Blue Farm committed to joining the fight against plastic waste by digging deep into its supply chain and taking plastic action. As a responsible business, Blue Farm understands that the impact of plastics on its operations and supply chain will help it accelerate the transition toward a circular economy.
At ClimeCo, we are convinced that data transparency is crucial for intelligent environmental action and the acceleration of the circular economy of plastics. We give conscious brands like Blue Farm the insights and tools they need to rethink their relationship with plastics and reimagine packaging.
