The Balance Between Eco-Consumers And Eco-Metrics For 3pl And E-Commerce Providers -Campbell Everett - SEE (formerly Sealed Air)

Presented by Campbell Everett - Automation Engineer - SEE

As 3PL and e-commerce providers prioritise the demands of today’s eco-conscious consumers, knowing whether you’re delivering the best sustainable outcome can be a challenge. Making a packaging design decision that leads to increased product damage for example, is a step in the wrong direction, adding to the carbon footprint of your operation.  Packaging design that eliminates waste, reduces your footprint and enables a circular future is a fine balance - it needs to appeal to eco-consumers, and the eco-metrics needs to stack up. Is what's trending across consumers in-fact the right answer?

In this session, you will learn key sustainable packaging design considerations, and explore market-ready packaging systems that will help e-commerce and 3PL providers address their sustainability goals and reduce their packaging carbon footprint.

Campbell is an automation engineer that has spent nearly 30 years absorbed in the packaging world, commencing with Carter Holt Harvey, before joining SEE (formerly Sealed Air) in 1999.  As eco-conscious consumers have driven 3PL and e-commerce providers to become ever more responsive to increasing sustainability challenges, Campbell has led the protective packaging revolution and sustainable transformation of major e-commerce and distribution providers across New Zealand. His nationwide team of Lean Six Sigma trained consultants help balance the need for cost reduction against the broader requirements of carbon intensity and circularity.  Author of “Sustainable e-commerce packaging - what should New Zealanders care about?”, Campbell’s findings work to ensure sustainability decisions deliver the best environmental and economic outcomes.   If you’re wanting a more sustainable packaging operation, don’t lie awake at night pondering how to do it – that’s Campbell’s job.
