Burberry has pledged to end the use of unnecessary plastic packaging by 2025. According to the New Plastics Economy Global Commitment report, published by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, the luxury fashion label and retailer plans to ensure all plastic packaging it uses can be recyclable, compo stable or reusable within six years’ time.
Burberry joined the likes of Stella McCartner and H&S as a signatory of the New Plastics Economy Global Commitment initiative last October, but specifics of what they have pledged have only just been revealed in the initiative’s report this week. According to the report, the heritage British retailer planned to “reduce, eliminate and transition away from problematic and unnecessary packaging across our own branded plastic packaging portfolio, with a focus on single use plastics” by 2025.
