Each month we devote a section of our Report to packaging related sourcing strategy and cost reduction by packaging category. The February 2024 report sets out a thoughtful examination on leadership in sourcing. The cost saving recommendations in the February 2024 report examines 5 initiatives which could reduce your plastic bottle or closure costs by as much as 30%. We discuss supplier line speeds, resin prices, the impact of mold cavitation, tri-extrusion using recycled resins and the effect of run quantities on supplier cost. We also discuss the use of cost and optimization model software in savings projects. And, perhaps most importantly, we outline ways to do this in a developmental, shared leadership manner with bottle and closure suppliers. These recommendations are based on our project experience working with clients in consumer products.
