Focus Area – Sustainable Packaging
Every year, over 300 million tons of plastic are produced worldwide — much of it for packaging that is used once and discarded. As consumer awareness and regulatory pressure around sustainability grow, packaging has become more than just a protective layer — it is a critical touchpoint for environmental responsibility and brand perception.
Prym Consumer, a global provider of sewing and knitting products in retail and e-commerce, faces the challenge of transforming a highly diverse and plastic-heavy packaging landscape into a future-proof, eco-friendly solution. With more than 10,000 product variants, Prym seeks a packaging innovation that not only reduces environmental impact but also strengthens brand identity and supports scalability.
Core Question & Goals
Prym Consumer is looking for a sustainable packaging concept that reduces plastic and works globally across all product categories and retail formats.
Key Question:
What could be a scalable and eco-friendly packaging solution that unifies branding, supports retail and e-commerce, and minimizes plastic use?
To address this challenge, Prym is seeking innovative packaging concepts that are not only environmentally responsible but also practical, visually appealing, and adaptable across a wide range of products and contexts. The current packaging system is complex, cost-intensive, and heavily reliant on plastic — especially blister packs. A new solution should simplify this landscape while aligning with consumer expectations and regulatory standards, while remaining economically feasible.
