How are brands addressing the growing consumer demand for zero-waste or minimal-waste products through packaging?

So I've been noticing this growing trend where consumers are really pushing for zero-waste or minimal-waste products. It got me curious, are there any brands out there that are responding to this pressure and taking the initiative to implement waste reduction through the packaging of their products? Are we seeing any innovative packaging strategies that reduce waste? Would love to hear your thoughts and any examples you know of.

Absolutely, it's an urgent topic for sure. Companies are now gradually beginning to use biodegradable materials or recyclable packaging which perfectly aligns with the minimal-waste movement. Anything to reduce our collective footprint, right? How about lesser-known brands or start-ups that are pioneering in this space- any examples?

Loop Industries is a good example, they're working on sustainable plastic solutions that can be recycled infinitely without losing quality. Also, there's been a rise in packaging-free stores where you bring your own containers. This approach might not be mainstream yet, but it's gaining traction. Know of any such stores in your area?

That's really a step in the right direction! Are there online platforms or initiatives that also support these practices through e-commerce?
