Sensormatic Solutions, part of technology company Johnson Controls, has introduced a recyclable packaging approach in shipping its InFuzion and magnetic alarming hard tags.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This shift phases out single-use plastic when shipping the company\u2019s two product lines to retail customers worldwide.<\/p>\n
Sensormatic Solutions\u2019 decision to switch to sustainable packaging was driven by its collaboration with REI Co-op, a speciality outdoor retailer.<\/p>\n
The rollout of the new packaging is currently underway and is set to eliminate approximately 163,700 plastic bags and prevent up to 2,400lb of single-use plastic from entering landfills each year.<\/p>\n
This rollout follows a pilot programme conducted by Sensormatic Solutions and REI to test the new plastic-free packaging design. The programme demonstrated substantial waste and labour savings by removing the need to handle plastic.<\/p>\n
This move is in line with both the companies\u2019 commitment to reduce waste and minimise environmental impact while managing costs and loss prevention.<\/p>\n
Sensormatic Solutions president Tony D\u2019Onofrio said: \u201cMany of Sensormatic Solutions most successful products and processes resulted from the close partnerships we\u2019ve built with our customers, and our new packaging initiative is no exception.<\/p>\n
\u201cREI approached us to see if there was a way to reduce or eliminate plastic waste in our packaging. The Co-op assisted our product and development team every step of the way, contributing to testing, resourcing and critical feedback that validated this new packaging approach.\u201d<\/p>\n
The move towards recyclable packaging is in response to growing consumer demand for sustainable retail practices.<\/p>\n
A survey by Sensormatic Solutions found that 83% of US shoppers consider sustainability when making purchases. <\/p>\n
The survey also highlighted consumer behaviour changes, with 45% using reusable shopping bags, 41% preferring sustainable packaging, and 38% opting for eco-friendly materials.<\/p>\n
This April, Sensormatic Solutions introduced its reduced-plastic Sustainable SPX AM Labels.<\/p>\n
