Mastering Sustainability

S3-E01: Carrots and Sticks - What's Needed For Effective EPR

Madeline Armstrong, Ray Loflin Season 3 Episode 1

On this episode of Mastering Sustainability, we sit down with Caroline DeLoach, Director of Sustainability at Atlantic Packaging, to explore how a legacy packaging company is rethinking its role in the fight against plastic pollution.

Caroline takes us inside her journey of driving change from within a 75-year-old family-owned business—sharing what it means to push for bold innovation in an industry often defined by tradition. From partnering with global brands to scale sustainable packaging solutions, to navigating evolving ESG regulations and reimagining supply chains, her perspective reveals both the challenges and the opportunities of leading corporate sustainability from the inside out.
