Check out what the team has been up to during March in our Monthly Recap. share.sender.net/campaigns/fj...

Zero waste starts on your plate.

A Packaging should cut food waste, not excuse overuse.
B More plastic ≠ less waste.
C The real win is circular design: reuse, smarter logistics, better forecasting and shorter supply chains.

Let’s stop using “food waste” to justify overpackaging. 💡

#ZeroWasteDay

We’re excited to welcome Alejandro Albaladejo Cifre to the Searious Business team! He’s joining us from @tue.nl to support our RePLHA project, helping us build a smarter, scalable reuse system for large household appliances.

Still plastic. In fact, less recyclable plastic.

Belgium can set the pace for Europe. Strong packaging rules are overdue and vital for resilience as supply chains face global turbulence. Circularity is not just sustainable but strategic.
Let’s back policymakers holding the line and push for EU‑wide ambition. 🌍

A global call to spark a #ReuseRevolution
At @seariousbusiness.com we focus on systemic change—but reuse only works if people use it. There’s #MoreThanYouThink already out there. Notice it. Support it. Demand it. Let’s make #reuse the rule, not the exception.

As the world shifts towards renewables, oil companies have a Plan B—plastic production. By 2050, nearly 50% of global oil demand could come from plastics. We can’t let that happen.

Circular solutions = lower energy, less CO2, and no Plan B for fossil fuels.

#WorldEnergyDay

Behavioral chains: To reduce #plastic use, we sometimes need to remove the choice. If single-use is still available, old habits persist. Remove the option, make reusable the default, and drive lasting change.

Or, do we need to handcuff you to your #reusable bags? 😉 #behavioralchange #sustainable
