Ffern
How is this an example of manufacture on demand?
Ffern creates seasonal perfumes quarterly to give customers a new fragrance for the changing of the season.
Customers have to wait for a spot on the ledger to be able to purchase the perfume. This allows Ffern to be able to batch produce the perfume to the number of people on the list. The brand offers a mini tester for the individual to decide if they wish to keep the perfume. As perfume is so personal, if the fragrance for that batch is not to your liking, it is returned to be redistributed to another person on the waiting list.
Packaging material choice
Ffern uses mycelium trays and cardboard packaging to ship the perfume. These materials were selected so there is no landfill generated from the packaging.
