We’re delighted to share our new 2024-25 impact report - a snapshot of progress towards our mission to rid the world of unnecessary packaging.

Building momentum and raising the bar 

The past year marked real progress in packaging compliance, including the launch of the Recyclability Assessment Methodology (RAM) as part of the EPR regulations, aimed at reducing the environmental impact of packaging placed on the market. At Ecosurety, we moved forward on several key fronts: 

• Uniting producers and recyclers through accelerator workshops 
• Supporting the adoption of reuse systems
• Advancing Carbon Literacy to enable smarter packaging decisions 

But we know progress is still too slow. Businesses like ours need to do more. We must maximise business as a force for good, acting boldly and collectively to drive real, measurable change. That’s exactly where we’re focusing our energy. 

Rethinking impact: What matters most? 

To better understand where our efforts can create the most value, we carried out a double materiality assessment, engaging members, suppliers, and staff to identify the governance, environmental, and social issues that matter most.

If you’re interested in how we conducted this assessment, and how it was essential to shaping our priorities and impact objectives, check out our LinkedIn Livestream, broadcast at 12pm on Thursday 17 July. 

In this session, Jon Brookes, our Partnerships Director, and Steph Housty, our Head of Sustainability & Marketing explored how we drive real change across the packaging sector and gave a behind-the-scenes look at how we’re rethinking our impact, the tough questions we asked through our double materiality assessment, and the three clear objectives now driving our strategy.

Defining our future commitments 

This report marks a clear line in the sand. Going forward, we’ll report against our impact objectives: 

• Increasing the amount of recyclable packaging 
• Increasing the amount of packaging being recycled 
• Increasing the amount of reusable packaging solutions

We sincerely appreciate the continued support of our members, suppliers and other stakeholders - it’s been essential in helping us reach this point. You’re welcome to use the insights from this report in your own sustainability reporting and strategy planning.  

We know there’s still more to do - and we’re committed to focusing our energy where it can drive real, measurable change.

If you have any questions, or want to explore how you can support impact in practice, we’d love to hear from you.
