Sustainability is on everyone's lips these days, and I love to see it. One area that I find particularly fascinating is how product design intersects with logistics: some companies are getting really good at designing products with logistics in mind. It's one thing to produce a sustainable product and another to consider its entire pathway to market.
Our featured company this week is Blueland which provides refillable cleaning supplies. Fill up a bottle with warm water then toss in a tablet: out comes glass cleaner or foaming hand soap. By selling tablets instead of water and bottles, they not only divert single-use plastics from landfills – they reduce the emissions associated with shipping heavier, dare I say voluminous, cleaning products. Pretty clever!
Now that we're suitably inspired, let's dive into this week's social impact job opportunities:
Blueland is tackling the single-use plastic problem with their refillable cleaning products. Their focus on sustainability extends beyond their products to the business as a whole: they've been carbon neutral and climate neutral for two years.
