Aura was tasked to devise a bespoke project for Spectrum Brands, helping it develop a comprehensive and holistic sustainability strategy focusing on several areas including:

  • Sourcing.
  • Structural packaging strategy.
  • Implementation and engagement​.
  • A regulatory refresh.
  • Circular economy/post-consumer recycled content (PCR) and recyclability/end-of-life labeling strategy.
