North American company Better Battery Co. (BBCo.) has announced the launch of plastic-free packaging for all its products.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Claimed to be the world\u2019s first carbon-neutral alkaline battery company, BBCo. said it has differentiated itself from traditional battery brands by focusing on reducing plastic waste.<\/p>\n

BBCo. stated that it offers seven small-pack stock-keeping units (SKUs) that are not only plastic-free but also feature Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified packaging.<\/p>\n

The new packaging is 100% recyclable and reusable, designed specifically for battery storage.<\/p>\n

In addition to its small packs, BBCo.\u2019s offerings include a kit line that is fully recyclable.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, each kit features access to a prepaid shipping label to send used batteries for recycling.<\/p>\n

BBCo co-founder Jaclyn Byles said: \u201cAs a company, we are committed to pushing the battery industry forward with truly sustainable solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, in addition to being the first certified carbon-neutral battery, and our unique built-in recycling programme for our kit line, we are demonstrating this commitment to sustainability through being the first [battery company] to introduce 100% plastic-free packaging across our entire product line.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to partner with retailers who share our vision of reducing waste and making sustainable products the new standard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, Energizer<\/a> Holdings, a US-based producer and supplier of primary batteries, launched packaging for its products<\/a> that was both recyclable and plastic-free.<\/p>\n

The company announced that its new paper-based packaging, designed to improve the consumer experience and retail displays, will launch at Walmart<\/a> stores in the US next month, with a wider rollout planned for later in the year.<\/p>\n
