Plastic

Plastic leaves a lasting mark on the environment. Un-recycled plastic can take up to 1000 years to decompose naturally and many single-use plastics end up in the world oceans and in the digestive systems of animals and fish. Due to these concerns, the UK and the EU have banned the production of several single-use plastic items from 2021, with further targets and measures predicted down the line. You can keep your business ahead of the game by embracing the change now. Simple changes like finding recyclable packaging can give your business a sustainable edge.

We have helped businesses:

  • Understand the impact of their plastic use, and assess the benefits of alternative options
  • Understand and use the alternatives such as bioplastic, recycled plastic, compostable and biodegradable plastic as well as non-plastic alternatives
  • Establish a robust approach to increasing regulations
  • Develop strategies for phasing out single use plastic, or developing more sustainable packaging

I was impressed with the thoroughness and level of detail that our data set was analysed in. Presenting an extensive data set in an easy to use format was of great value in communicating the outcome of the work internally, and prioritising areas of the supply chain for future action.

Alan Sweeting, Global Health, Safety and Environment Senior Manager, Allen & Overy LLP

Avieco supported us in collating and organising data to develop a robust risk assessment process. They have been easy to work with, responsive to our requirements and pragmatic in their solutions.

Gijs Voskuilen, Head of Corporate Responsibility, Bunzl

Avieco has been the preferred environmental consultant since the beginning of our journey to become a sustainable company. Dentsu Aegis has worked with Avieco’s experts on various areas, such as carbon footprint reporting and assurance support, and recently also advised us how to switch our global network to renewable electricity. The team’s expertise on environmental sustainability is impressive, and the work delivered is always of highest standard.

Lars Holm, Global Senior Manager CSR, Dentsu Aegis Network

Avieco informatively led us through the processes needed to reduce our carbon footprint. With their clear and concise advice we have been able to effectively reduce our energy and waste levels. Avieco made the complex notion of energy efficiency into a manageable and achievable reality

Nigel Pink, Group Engineering Manager, Dominos UK & Ireland Ltd

Avieco delivered exactly the workshop we needed to get our sustainability team and regional leads on the same page when it comes to ‘market-based’ reporting. It’s a challenging area to tackle for a global business – particularly when we operate in a number of markets where there is little or no choice in terms of energy purchasing. Avieco has given us the knowledge and tools to ensure we get our disclosures right – they really exceeded my expectations for what we could achieve in one afternoon!
