PODCAST: Procurement’s Perspective on Sustainable Packaging | Huw Curtis

Episode Title: Procurement’s Perspective on Sustainable Packaging | Huw Curtis

Guest: Huw Curtis, Procurement Manager at Butternut Mountain Farm

Summary:

In this episode of Sustainable Packaging with Cory Connors, Huw Curtis shares how he approaches sustainable procurement in the maple industry, where packaging decisions must support both the customer experience and the long-term health of the forests that make the business possible.

Cory and Huw explore why sustainability cannot sit within a single department, how trusted supplier relationships help turn ideas into measurable improvements, and why there is no one-size-fits-all solution to packaging challenges. They also reflect on their experience at See Change Sessions in Burlington, Vermont, and discuss how bringing brands, suppliers, legislators, and other stakeholders together can turn big sustainability conversations into practical action.
