Great Earth shifts entire product range to paper closures

Last year, Swedish nutraceutical company, Great Earth was the first company to adopt the groundbreaking fiber-based closures, developed by Blue Ocean Closures and designed to increase recyclability and reduce carbon footprint. The first to market products were launched on Great Earth’s top seller Magnesium, both online and through retailers in Sweden.

The pilot is now a proven success and based on thorough evaluation of the market response,  production compatibility and other parameters, the company has made the decision to exchange all of their plastic caps for supplements with paper caps.

“The collaboration with Blue Ocean Closures was a fantastic opportunity. For us, this transition is about two things: driving sustainability forward and meeting the consumer of the future. The positive response from consumers and retailers shows us exactly where the future is heading, making this a business-critical decision to ensure our relevance for years to come.”, affirms Patrik Falk, CEO, Great Earth.   

Referring to consumer surveys conducted on the pilot, Great Earth can for example, see that 90% found the paper cap more user friendly, 100% view it as more environmentally friendly and 90% prefers the paper cap and would buy it again.

“We know that consumers demand for more sustainable packaging is growing and the motivation to move away from plastics is strong. Businesses who are ahead of this development, like Great Earth, we are convinced will be the long term winners.” – Lars Sandberg, CEO at Blue Ocean Closures.

Among the partners in the pioneering community driving the development of fiber-based closures are global brands such as L’Oréal Groupe and The Absolut Group.
