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.”

Sustainable paper’s best kept secret: biogas (cleantechnica.com)

Editor’s note from Kyle Field: Having spent 17 years working at a paper plant in a wide variety of roles, I am passionate about finding and sharing solutions for industries built around fossil fuels. The papermaking process is extremely energy intensive and requires thermal energy to dry paper, making it a challenging nut to crack. The path taken by Rolland to clean up its energy footprint is encouraging for the papermaking industry and serves as a model for other gas-consuming industries. As the corporate world continues to examine how to reduce its environmental footprint, and more businesses set strategies with climate change in mind, it is imperative they use energy in a way that’s clean, sustainable, and renewable during their manufacturing processes. At Rolland, we’re committed to industry-leading product quality, continuous improvement and environmental stewardship. This mission is driven by our employees, who help us promote a culture of constant innovation. In honor of National Energy Awareness Month, let’s take a closer look at this important component of our sustainable production process, including the challenge, the opportunity and the outcomes.

Celebrate the Sustainability of Paper from Well Managed U.S. Forests

Each year since 1960, the third week in October has been proclaimed National Forest Products Week in the U.S. It is a time to recognize the essential role that forests play in the country’s history, culture, environment and economy. Our forests are a source of clean air and water, are home to a diversity of fish and wildlife, a place to enjoy, provide us with many products made from wood and are a source of employment for people who work in and manage the forests. From houses to paper to packaging to fuel to furniture to railways, wood products are an irreplaceable part of our daily lives. But those are just the traditional uses of forest products! What about all the surprising everyday items that contain products from wood? Wood cellulose, released when wood is processed into pulp, is used to make ping pong balls, sports helmets, nail polish and synthetic fibres, which are made into clothes and towels – just to name a few.
