The Business That Turns Packaging Into Pounds | Dragons' Den 

😂😂😂😂🤣

Yes my cats agree with you! Boxes are for them big ones small ones they're all theirs 😂

spot on, everytime we get a new packaging box, that our cat can crawl in...its his, no questions ask.. to the point that we starting to cut out windows, play holes etc..

True Shoe manufacturers Cereal manufacturers Then boom..

To be fair you could effectively say that any bissinus at this point😅

They won’t do that, guaranteed.

well yeah it's like electric cars.. the energy used to make one ends up actually being worse for the planet LOL. It's crazy.

Doesn’t it help reduce waste by encouraging reusing a box rather than purchasing another toy from a store that would contain more packaging? I’d rather my child build a toy kitchen etc from boxes and stickers rather than purchasing a toy one with plastic accessories.

​@@teddym2808It doesn't though.... LOL

The irony being that she and her fellow dragons wouldn't be rich if not for packaging.

@@callum9999you need to look into the electric car market. It’s a scam. Carbon isn’t a problem. More co2 means more plant growth and more crops.

What do you think was delivered in the boxes in the first place?

right!!

I don't agree to be honest, inevitably the boxes get binned quickly as they are no where near as durable as toys

I don't think it's realistic that a box with stickers on it will stop the kids wanting a new toy. It's not a bad idea, and will give a few hours entertainment, but it will likely be thrown away within days and doesn't replace a toy.

Deborah be all….. but I like selling commercial products…… 🙃

She’s very courteous because this was the dumbest “product” I’ve ever seen

For ther cameras

she got so bent out of shape when someone called her "Sara" instead of "SAW-ra". Her accent effects how she pronounces words. She says "m-UH-nee" when she says money for instance. It is not unreasonable for someone think her name was Sara when they hear you say SAW-ra. She was so offended though for an honest mistake. when she dies, that little scene will be replayed in her life review and she will see how offensive she was. she made the poor man feel two foot small she did

if everyone was fake nice all the time the show would send everyone to sleep.

It probably is the same shot edited in every time

It could be a gif

exactly what i was thinking

I was thinking the same thing, but I guess this is not meant to be used for every single box that comes into your home. I think the point is to avoid constantly buying new toys that are much more resource-heavy when it's possible to have fun with what's already in your home. I agree that this is not the most elegant solution, just playing devil's advocate.

I’m surprised that Deborah didn’t make that point. I am equally surprised that the entrepreneurs didn’t counter with Victoria’s point below that it can stop the kids going on to buy other toys/items and that that’s where the really eco advantage comes from.

Wow, you're such an expert. Why don't you set that up as your own business?

@@RustyKeys72 how do you feel after your comment. must feel good???

Jenny jokes getting old

As a painter and decorator I can tell you felt tips are the devil's work 😉

3:23 Peter agrees

You can feel my tip anytime baby

@L S Yes i agree. Would need an enormous marketing budget and given the price of the product this would be very difficult to cover, let alone make any real profit from.

If they didn't make a lot of money over the past 18 months with lockdowns then they have no hope.

That was the problem with the glue

Rebecca Sykes that’s a very good point.

Probably depends where you live but I believe labels, tapes, adhesives etc are removed during the recycling process.

I've been taught to remove everything from my cardboard. I peel off all the packing tape and labels. Even if they do it at processing plant, we can still save them a lot of time by cleaning our own stuff and doing it all properly.

wen u see in ur own eyes were all the recycling stuff go u realise there is no such thing as recycling, its more and more contaminated waste.

You mean that they like the idea but don't think it will make a lot of money?

Jenny, is that you?

Multiple houses in fact, that consume more energy than several small ones.

She rides around in a private jet. Has multiple vehicles. Only became a vegan this year. Has multiple homes and factories. She probably emits as much co2 as a small village in India. Hypocrite and a fraud is what she is.

@@hellohello9400 While I essentially agree, there's a difference between personal pollution and corporate pollution. That she only invests in, say, a construction tool with renewable and biodigradable plastic is a huge step forward in terms of standard practice, seeing as millions of them are produced in every household. Seeing that only 100 companies account for 71% of the world's global emissions, it's these practices that are far more important than having several vehicles or homes. It's these companies that _want_ you to believe that you need to be a wagon-travelling gypsy to be green. Renewable energy (electric, solar, wind, etc.) can make all but the jet (as far as I know) efficient. That she doesn't hold her business peers accountable to the same standard and thus put her neck on the line, however, is where I agree with the hypocrite/fraud aspect.

Yeah, she built one out of delivery boxes..

Its not actually. Seen photos on twitter and its not massive.

I know right, at least Sara Davies didn't try to act all high and mighty and basically just said she didn't care for the environment. I care for the environment a little bit, but definitely not enough, yet I don't go around protesting or declaring my dismay for anything that doesn't resemble environmentally friendly. Deborah needs to turn it down a bit on her end with the ecofriendly act.

In my experience, many business people don't hold actual moral values but they still speak about them. Why? Because they're important for business. For environmental issues it's called "greenwashing" and is in fashion at the moment. But that doesn't mean all environmentalists are like this, some care very deeply about the environment. The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is a good example in my opinion.

@@Alephu5 Fair enough. I think this is why I don't like business generally, it's too much smoke and mirrors and immoral.

I agree wholeheartedly with you, Simon. Deborah comes across as a fraud. If she is eco about everything she should stop farting or breathing as these produce Carbon dioxide and or methane which are harmful greenhouse gases! 😂😂

She's expected as one of the dragons to engage with the people presenting, and to engage with the products if they are given examples to play around with. If she "refused to engage with the stickers" because of her eco stance, she'd be accused of being rude to the presenters. It would be the same as expecting a vegetarian dragon to dismissively toss a meat product aside. You have to be professional in that environment. No one can be 100% eco-friendly, it's virtually impossible in this day and age. But her points were still valid in my opinion - about the adhesive not being biodegradable (in the guy's own words he said it was a "grey area", which is a lie. It either is or it isn't). Also about him adding to the manufacturing and packaging problem. I respect your opinion, but, I also have to respectfully disagree on that one.

Shame he left, was the kindest and most reasonable dragon

Not as much as Shawn loves himself

Touker

no it's not. It adds value to the cardboard that would be thrown away. It stops the parent buying yet another toy for £10. So what if it delays going to the tip.. it has had a double use.

hahaha

Yeah it sounded good but when you think about it it's rubbish

I do believe that was reasons for non investment and stated therein. Would you also like to invest but be out Mr Touker? xxx

Electric cars?

@@petece3673 electric cars are not much more eco friendly than normal cars. The amount of pollution caused by manufacturing the battery etc is equivalent to the pollution of 100,000 miles worth of fuel

I think they do . It's something like spores from mushrooms , plant based wrappers and packaging .

If you have a compost heap use ripped up cardboard boxes and grass to make great compost quick.

It is if it reduces the need to buy them new toys. That's the argument they should have gone with.

@@remchaill9898 right! Or it's just a fun idea. Bc it is, but it's not eco friendly really.

@@remchaill9898 You can't believe for one moment that a single child will get one less toy because he/she got an empty box instead? that is like thinking that if you buy a child a pack of gum, you will give them less food.

@@remchaill9898 how long do you expect these boxes to last?

i have a rope u can use ☺️

They don;t...
