How Steve Giambi Harnessed Sustainable Innovation at SupplySide Global
See how eco-friendly packaging solutions like Boardio paper bottles boosted sales and positioned CTI Packaging as a market leader.
Sharing Innovation in Sustainable Packaging
When Steve Giambi from CTI Packaging attended SupplySide Global, his goal was clear: to showcase cutting-edge sustainable packaging capabilities and connect with industry professionals in the nutraceutical and functional ingredients space. He wanted to highlight eco-conscious solutions while discovering trends and partners that could support clients’ product development.
Giambi’s focus was on packaging nutraceuticals in bottles and pouches, providing solutions that meet both functional and sustainability standards.
A Premier Destination for Nutraceutical Innovation
Giambi describes SupplySide Global as a top conference for anyone in the nutraceutical business. With a busy, high-energy atmosphere and meaningful meetings around every corner, the event exceeded expectations by connecting him with industry peers and potential partners.
“All expectations were met — we walked away with meaningful meetings that directly impact our business.”
Finding Opportunities on the Show Floor
The expo floor proved invaluable for Giambi to discover new packaging technologies and sustainable solutions. One standout was the Boardio paper bottle, which uses 94% less plastic than traditional bottles and reduces the carbon footprint by 91%. This solution not only supports sustainability goals but also appeals to eco-conscious consumers.
Reducing Environmental Impact Without Compromise
SupplySide Global helped Giambi identify sustainable packaging solutions that resonate with today’s consumers. Integrating Boardio paper bottles improved both environmental performance and consumer appeal while streamlining production.
Strengthening Market Position
Attending SupplySide Global positioned Giambi for success by connecting him with new partners and helping him showcase innovative, eco-friendly packaging solutions. Since the event, he has experienced a measurable 15% increase in sales, with ongoing partnerships driving long-term growth.
“New partners reached out regularly, and our sales grew 15% — SupplySide made that possible.”
