philo & co is your trusted circular economy and sustainability consultant, leading FMCG brands and design agencies towards a regenerative future

β€œAs an accidental waste fanatic, I founded philo & co to help FMCG brands and design agencies create positive, long-term strategies and transform away from our take-make-waste world. We urgently need to work together to shift how we design and do business, for the better.”  

Pippa Founder & Director philo & co 

From product designer to sustainability & circular economy consultant  

philo & co is an award-winning circular economy and sustainability consultancy dedicated to supporting design agencies and brands in packaging design, strategy, and communication. philo & co is a proud member of APCO and the AIP.

Since founding philo & co in 2019, Pippa has become a driving force advancing sustainability and the circular economy in the design and FMCG sectors. She won PKN’s Design & Branding Visionary Women In Packaging of the Year and was a Finalist in PIDA’s Young Packaging Professional of the Year in 2024. 

With a BSc in Product Design and over 15 years of experience working with leading design agencies and renowned brands like Pernod Ricard and Reckitt Benckiser, Pippa began her journey toward sustainability early in her career. While managing packaging projects across Europe, she recognised the need for more sustainable solutionsβ€”a realisation that ultimately led to a new career path. 

Pippa has leveraged her skills and extensive knowledge to develop philo & co’s unique approach that translates complex sustainability challenges into practical, impactful solutions. Her work helps clients in the design and FMCG sectors go beyond circular design to deliver holistic sustainability factors in sustainable packaging, strategy, and communication.

She has also mentored circular design challenges, including UNSW Circular Economy ResourCE Hackathon and openIDEO’s Next Gen Cup Challenge, supporting the industry’s transition to more sustainable practices.
