Are you attending PACK EXPO this week? If so, look for Tim Almond and Robby Dameron II from Heartland Industries - They will be there all week talking about our new line of carbon-neutral packaging! #sustainablepackaging #carbonneutralpallets #greenpackaginginitiative https://lnkd.in/gGbT4ht

We're thrilled to unveil our new line of carbon-neutral pallets, crafted with a blend of recycled plastic and our Imperium hemp fiber! These durable, low-cost, and sustainable alternatives are designed to meet the rising demand for eco-friendly supply chain solutions. With many standard sizes available, Heartland’s latest innovation pushes forward our mission to reduce Scope 3 emissions and champion a circular economy. By incorporating Heartland's Imperium hemp fiber, we’re delivering added strength and durability while significantly reducing carbon footprints compared to conventional plastic options. Why It Matters: This new line allows industries to adopt sustainable practices in logistics, contributing directly to carbon reduction and circularity goals.

We hear a lot about "Mass Balance" lately and how this approach will allow businesses to accurately account for carbon outputs while shifting away from fossil-based resources (all of this without completely overhauling your entire supply chain!). It can sound a little daunting but trust us, it's not! Essentially, mass balance is a method that allows companies to incrementally replace traditional inputs with renewable, recycled, or simply lower-carbon materials while maintaining the high-quality product standards consumers expect. Mass balance is a straightforward method used to track and manage carbon emissions across complex systems. It operates on the principle of combining the impact of each ingredient in your product’s formulation. This approach allows businesses to account for carbon outputs, even in industries with multiple production sites or processes, without needing to measure each step individually. By applying mass balance, companies can accurately calculate their carbon footprint, enabling them to work toward carbon neutrality.

Well, Summer is over and so is our Industry 5.0 Series. In this last post, read about our planet's potential and take an optimistic ride with us into the future! Achieving a fully sustainable planet requires collective effort from millions of companies and billions of people. Industry 5.0 will proactively address the unintended consequences of previous industrial revolutions, promoting regenerative farming, valuing emotional currency, and embracing altruistic values. Sustainable decision-making throughout the value chain will be foundational to our planet’s future. As we look towards a Net Zero future, let’s remember that every choice made today echoes through the world of tomorrow. This is the vision of Industry 5.0—a future where our progress is intertwined with the health of our planet, ensuring a thriving, sustainable world for generations to come!

Thanks to Dipalo Ventures for the shout out here on LinkedIn and thanks to Seyi F. for taking time to meet with us last week at the gener8tor conference in Indianapolis! We're looking forward to working with you and your team in the future!

In one of our final "Industry 5.0" posts this summer, we look at the major difference between the first four industrial revolutions and the 5th. The progression from Industry 1.0 to Industry 4.0 brought about significant advancements, but also left a trail of environmental and social damage. Recognizing the need for change, Industry 5.0 emerges as a conscious effort to rectify these negative impacts and forge a sustainable future. Yes, Industry 5.0 will be the first "proactive" revolution, set partially on correcting the ills of the first four! We hope you've enjoyed this series, and next week we will wrap up with a glimpse into the future of 5.0! #proactiverevolution #industry5 #5thindustrialrevolution Tim Almond Robby Dameron II Sierra Kammerer Sara Zubieta Eric Austermann https://lnkd.in/e4ygwMa5

It's been decades since we've seen a new C-level role widely adopted in businesses globally, not since the advent of the Chief Technology Officer has there been so much buzz around the C-suite. Today, however, we're seeing the rise of the Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO). A Chief Sustainability Officer is a senior executive responsible for overseeing and implementing a company’s sustainability strategy and initiatives. Their role includes developing and implementing policies, programs, and projects that promote environmental, social, and economic sustainability. They also report on the company’s sustainability performance and engage stakeholders on sustainability issues, typically in the form of ESG reports. They work closely with other departments and business units to integrate sustainability into core business operations and ensure the company meets its sustainability goals and commitments. Think this might be a career path for you, or someone you know? Check out our latest article below!

Have you ever wondered why some companies have strong messaging on sustainability and some don't? Like me, you can tell when a firm is serious about their sustainability efforts. It's all in the communications, and that task almost always falls on the brand manager. When we look at sustainability through the lens of a brand manager, the sustainable brand not only appears to be profitable but also strives to create a healthy environment for its workers, customers, and communities, using resources responsibly and conducting business without harming the planet or society. This article outlines the do's and don'ts of effective brand messaging and how prioritizing sustainability enhances reputation, improves financial performance, ensures regulatory compliance, and meets consumer demand for ethical products. #brandmanager #sustainability #regulatorycompliance #ethicalproducts Tim Almond Robby Dameron II Sara Zubieta Sierra Kammerer Eric Austermann https://lnkd.in/eQsPkuxA

Have you ever wondered what the most powerful carbon sequestration tool on the planet is? How about the planet itself! That's right, planet Earth is the most powerful tool we have for reversing carbon emissions. At Heartland we call this simply, "Engineering Earth". Pioneering-Profound-Powerful! Engineering Earth emerged from extensive discussions focused on reclaiming our planet’s health by treating it as a single, interconnected organism. This perspective requires global cooperation, transcending regional, societal, and governmental boundaries. By leveraging Earth’s intrinsic carbon sequestration mechanisms, we can achieve significant and lasting environmental restoration.

We know that the landscape of business and manufacturing is changing. We see advancements in AI, FinTech, and in our space, sustainability. Our view is that all of these will see tremendous growth in the coming decades, but nothing more than the innovations we will see in sustainability, especially in new materials. As businesses worldwide grapple with the urgent need for sustainable practices, innovation is proving to be the key to a greener future. Companies are increasingly turning to cutting-edge solutions to reduce their environmental footprint and enhance their operational efficiency. Industry 5.0 will move fast and far. Some innovations born at the beginning of the revolution will become obsolete and be replaced later down the line. Innovation will be a critical element of the next business revolution and while everyone agrees on its importance, there is less agreement on where that innovation will come from. From revolutionary advancements in material science to novel approaches in renewable energy, these sustainable innovations are not just benefiting the planet but also driving growth for those companies that choose to innovate. Join us as we delve into the latest breakthroughs in sustainability that are transforming industries and setting new standards for corporate responsibility. #Sustainability #Innovation #GreenTech #SustainableBusiness #EcoFriendly Tim Almond Robby Dameron II Sara Zubieta Sierra Kammerer Eric Austermann https://lnkd.in/ejgfHriW
