We are Path an award-winning, independent design agency.
Throughout 2020 we charted a path through the daunting, complex and highly charged topic that is sustainability. Each month delving into a new subject – from single-use to circular, people power to plastic pollution, biomimicry to biomaterials – always with the aim of uncovering challenges and opportunities for brands, for consumers, for societies and for the planet.
In 2021 we revisit our twelve sustainability topics with fresh eyes, ideas, and insights. With a new podcast series that is all about having conversations and sharing ideas about sustainability with consumers, activists, brands, designers, influencers and experts.

Craig also highlights the importance of sharing information with suppliers, competitors and consumers to drive sustainability in the category, and talks about experimenting with glass reduction, biodegradable shrink wrap and looped systems.
