Sustainable Innovation Support
EMPOWERING CHANGE
Sustainable product innovation
Many organisations have made sustainability commitments – but translating them into commercially viable products requires specialist expertise.
Drawing on 25 years of experience, we help product and packaging teams apply circular innovation and carbon modelling to generate value and drive decision making.
We offer a wide range of bespoke services which are tailored to the needs of your organisation.
Product & Packaging Opportunity Scan
“Where should we focus our efforts?”
A short, focused engagement to identify the main sustainability ‘hotspots’ and opportunities for a selected product or pack.
What this includes:
- Carbon-informed hotspot analysis
- Identification of value-creating opportunities (risk, efficiency, differentiation)
- Clear priority areas for action
Best suited to organisations that need:
- A clear starting point
- Data to underpin decision making, aligns well with EU Packaging and Packaging waste regulation (PPWR) requirements
- Confidence about where to direct effort
In practice: For Monty’s Bakehouse we used an abridged carbon calculator to assess a range of packaging concepts and identify the key opportunities for reducing their carbon impact across their product range.

Carbon-informed Design review
“Which option is better?”
A targeted review of product or packaging concept to explore the implications of different materials, designs, or system choices.
What this includes:
- Structured comparison of realistic options
- Scenario testing using tailored carbon models
- Exploration of key trade-offs
- Can be expanded to incorporate formal Product Carbon footprinting aligned with ISO 14067
Best suited to teams with:
- Design development in progress
- Questions about what leads to the best sustainability output
In practice: Pipeline Organics wanted to quantify the likely operational carbon savings that their on-site wastewater pre-treatment system – TankArc could achieve, compared with conventional UK wastewater treatment plants. We carried out a screening-level carbon impact study to illustrate likely savings based on a series of assumptions.

Circular Opportunity & Feasibility Scan
“Could this work circularly, and is it viable?”
A focused piece of work to map circular opportunities and assess their technical and operational feasibility.
What this includes:
- Lifecycle and supply chain mapping
- Feasibility assessment within existing constraints
- Clear identification of viable circular pathways
Best suited to organisations looking to:
- Identify blockers and enablers in circularity
- Explore technical and financial viability
In practice: For Triton Showers we ran an in-house workshop to help them visualise the supply chain and identify near and far term opportunities for developing circular systems across the product lifecycle.

Integrated Programme
“We need support across all of these.”
For organisations facing broader or more complex decisions, these packages can combine into a structured programme of work, providing deeper support across:
- Opportunity identification
- Option comparison
- Scenario modelling
- Circular development
The structure is flexible and shaped around your stage of development and decision needs.
