FieldDay Ireland: PEFC-certified packaging for a better tomorrow

PEFC-certified board was chosen for the new packaging of the award-winning home fragrance collection FieldDay.

Founded in 2002, FieldDay is inspired by the scents of the Irish countryside and pays homage to the country’s many native wildflowers.

A recent brand refresh gave the company the opportunity to choose new packaging for their range of vegan and cruelty-free candles, soaps and home collection, matching the brand’s environmental credentials and commitment to sustainability.

“We love the land in Ireland and have a desire to leave things better than we find them and help contribute to a more sustainable planet”, said Alix Mulholland, Creative Director of FieldDay.

“We recognise that businesses can have a negative impact on the environment, but they can also be a force for good”.

All cartons are printed with vegetable inks on PEFC-certified board. The plastic bottles are made from recycled plastics, while the rest of the product range is plastic free.

Consumers are increasingly aware about the environmental impact of consumption and are keen to make responsible decisions about the brands they buy from.

“When looking for new packaging material, it was very important for us to source certified material through an ethical and responsible supply chain,” Alix added.

“When our printers at Priory Press recently acquired PEFC certification, we were keen to incorporate the logo on our packs. We are exceptionally proud to display the PEFC label on our packaging,” she continued.

“Knowing that we’re using certified material and contributing to driving healthy forest management is very much core to our brand values. Our customers and stockists are delighted to buy from a brand that’s taking the resource-friendly way forward.”

Update about FSC in the Canadian Boreal Forest

Covering more than 400 million acres – and representing 25 percent of the world’s remaining intact forest – the Canadian boreal forest is larger than many countries. There are more than 500 indigenous communities in the boreal and 400,000 Canadians rely on the forest for their livelihoods. It is also the source of huge quantities of wood and fiber for customers in Canada and the US. In short, the Canadian boreal forest is an important place that delivers a wide range of values, some hotly contested. First Nations recognize the boreal forest as their ancestral lands. Forest managers see opportunities for economic development and jobs. Environmentalists focus on the vast swaths of intact forest and habitat for many species, including woodlands caribou. On the surface, these interests may seem to be in opposition. In reality, they can be aligned if the forest management respects environmental and social values. But this alignment does not happen by accident; it is the product of hard work among parties to find solutions in the common interest.

The carbon footprint of packaging

Pro Carton have just released the results of their study into how much carbon is emitted during the production of cardboard packaging. We look at the figures and assess just how environmentally friendly this material is. While cardboard packaging is undoubtedly one of the most sustainable materials in the world, when it comes to hard, scientific data on its actual carbon footprint, there’s very little information. Recycling rates, renewable energy use, forestry schemes, replanting programmes, water use – figures are available for most of the individual parts of the production and recycling process, but there’s never been an actual number for the amount of carbon emissions generated during the manufacture of cartonboard packaging – until now.
