#259 Misalignment: The Hidden Barrier to Sustainable Packaging

Send us a textWhat if the greatest barrier to sustainability success isn't cost, materials, or regulation, but something far more fundamental? Matthew Rogerson, founder of The Pack Scout, reveals the startling truth uncovered in his research with over 220 executives from 185 global companies.Behind the familiar challenges of sustainable packaging lies a profound misalignment that derails even the most well-intentioned initiatives. When departments pull in different directions—procurement focused solely on cost reduction while marketing and sustainability teams push for innovations that inevitably increase expenses—the result is compromised products that satisfy no one completely.This disconnect extends beyond corporate walls to how companies communicate with consumers. "Companies talk about what they're doing and how it benefits them," Rogerson explains, "but they don't tell you or me as consumers why we should care." This failure to transfer ownership—helping customers see themselves benefiting from sustainable choices—undermines engagement with even the most eco-friendly offerings.Perhaps most revealing is Rogerson's analysis of sustainable materials. His research demonstrates that virtually every alternative, from seaweed to mushroom-based packaging, would become 30-40% cheaper than virgin materials within approximately 6.5 years. Yet short-term business imperatives prevent companies from making investments that would yield substantial financial and environmental benefits over time.The path forward requires fundamental shifts: adopting longer time horizons, ensuring all stakeholders collaborate from the outset of projects, establishing shared objectives that transcend departmental goals, and dramatically improving communication with consumers. Rogerson's comprehensive "Sustainable Packaging 2025-2035" report offers practical frameworks and decision-making tools to navigate these challenges.Discover how to break through the sustainability stalemate and create genuinely aligned strategies that deliver for your business, your customers, and our planet.

Jewelry isn’t just beautiful—it’s hard to market. In this hybrid episode of Legacy of Luxury, Nick Constantino and Jaron Solomon break down what’s broken in jewelry marketing, from abandoned brand-building to the overhype of data-driven performance. They talk sports partnerships, in-store experience, digital agency pitfalls, and the new rules of trust and storytelling. Key Takeaways Performance marketing without brand marketing is a dead end. Radio still builds long-term loyalty in ways social can’t touch. Sports sponsorships create trust signals and real-world rapport. In-store experience is a brand touchpoint, not just a transaction. Agencies must evolve from vendors to strategic partners. Independent jewelers are luxury brands—not just resellers. Sound bites "People only see the tip of the iceberg." "The model needs to change." "We are going to carve our own path."

Oreo maker Mondelez sues Aldi, alleging grocery chain copies its packaging to confuse customers

Snack food maker Mondelez International is suing the Aldi supermarket chain, alleging the packaging for Aldi's store-brand cookies and crackers "blatantly copies" Mondelez products like Chips Ahoy, Wheat Thins and Oreos. In a federal lawsuit filed in Illinois, Chicago-based Mondelez said Aldi's packaging was "likely to deceive and confuse customers" and threatened to irreparably harm Mondelez and its brands. The company is seeking monetary damages and a court order that would stop Aldi from selling products that infringe on its trademarks. Aldi didn't respond to messages seeking comment. The U.S. branch of Aldi, which is based in Batavia, Illinois, was named in the lawsuit. In the lawsuit, Mondelez displayed side-by-side photos of multiple products. Aldi's Thin Wheat crackers, for example, come in a gold box very similar to Mondelez's Wheat Thins. Aldi's chocolate sandwich cookies and Oreos both have blue packaging. The supermarket's Golden Round crackers and Mondelez's Ritz crackers are packaged in red boxes. Aldi, which was founded in Germany, keeps prices low by primarily selling products under its own labels. It's one of the fastest-growing grocery chains in the U.S., with more than 2,500 stores in 39 states. The company announced that its current chief operating officer, Atty McGrath, would become Aldi's U.S. CEO on September 1. The chain has faced lawsuits over its packaging before. Last year, an Australian court found that Aldi infringed on the copyright of Baby Bellies snack puffs for young children. In that case, Aldi's packaging featured a cartoon owl and similar colors to the name-brand packaging. Earlier this year, a U.K. appeals court ruled in favor of Thatchers, a cider company, which sued Aldi over design similarities in the packaging of its lemon cider. Mondelez said in its lawsuit that the company had contacted Aldi on numerous occasions about "confusingly similar packaging." Mondelez said Aldi discontinued or changed the packaging on some items but continued to sell others. The lawsuit also alleges that Aldi infringed on Mondelez's trade dress rights for the packaging of Nutter Butter and Nilla Wafers cookies, and its Premium cracker brand.

This week in the guest chair, I'm joined by Tisha Thompson, the founder and CEO of LYS Beauty, the first Black-owned clean cosmetics brand to be carried at Sephora. Tisha shares her inspiring path from staff accountant and part-time makeup artist to leading her own beauty brand that launched during the pandemic and quickly sold out in 10 days. In this episode, Tisha breaks down how she strategically pivoted from finance to beauty marketing, cold-pitched Sephora with a bold email (before she even launched!), and developed products that center clean ingredients and inclusivity. Her brand LYS, short for Love Yourself, is not only disrupting the beauty space with triangle packaging and affirmational product names—but it's also remained profitable every year since launch.In this episode she shares:How she got her foot in the beauty industry using her finance backgroundWhy she took a demotion to pivot industriesHow personal loss and purpose led her to finally launch LYS BeautyWhat made Sephora say "yes" to a brand that hadn't even launched yetHow she developed 35 inclusive foundation shades with a clean formulationWhy representation and self-love are at the heart of her business modelHighlights Include: 00:00 Intro02:10 How a staff accountant became a makeup artist04:50 Taking a demotion to move into marketing10:54 Losing her dad and finding the courage to launch15:45 Cold-pitching Sephora and landing a deal pre-launch20:00 What clean beauty means to her (and her skin)27:00 Packaging, affirmations, and triangle symbolism30:00 Navigating DEI backlash and economic shifts45:00 Building a team and staying profitableCheck out episode 467 of Side Hustle Pro podcast out now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.Links mentioned in this episodeLYS Beauty Website: https://lysbeauty.comLYS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lysbeautyofficial/Tisha's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glamourgirl5/Cosmoprof: https://cosmoprofnorthamerica.comMakeUp In Trade Shows: https://www.makeup-in.comLuxepack: https://www.luxepack.comClick here to subscribe via RSS feed (non-iTunes feed): http://sidehustlepro.libsyn.com/rssAnnouncementsJoin our Facebook CommunityIf you're looking for a community of supportive side hustlers who are all working to take our businesses to the next level, join us here: http://sidehustlepro.co/facebookGuest Social Media InfoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/glamourgirl5/LYS Beauty Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lysbeautyofficial Hosted on Acast.

New York State could move forward with the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act — a piece of legislation that has been promoted by some climate activists and opposed by many small businesses. Wine and beer producers have been especially concerned. Some state leaders say they've worked with the business community to create something more fair, but also something that will lead to less packaging waste. Our guests discuss it: Jeongyoon Han, Capitol News Bureau reporter for the New York Public News Network Melissa Carlson, climate activist with Third Act Upstate NY and part-time architect Alan Cole, member of the Climate Smart Community Task Force  Chad Hendrickson, brand ambassador for Lakewood Vineyards Amanda Richardson, brewer and sustainability coordinator at Strangebird Beer
