“We always get asked ‘Have you taken into account the return shipping with the empty package?’ Yes, we look at the sustainability holistically using a lifecycle assessment. And one of the key things to think about is that so much of the impact—from CO2 impact and resource use—comes from the manufacturing. So when you’re talking about a reusable package, you’re manufacturing just one versus 100-200 single-use packages. And another part that not everyone thinks about is that for getting those 200 single-use packages, they are also taking trips from wherever they’re manufactured to wherever they’re used, and then hopefully, they’re recycled but they may go to a landfill as well, and no matter what, there is still a trip to be taken…”
