While our focus to innovate is centred on offering progressive products to meet the needs of global markets and consumers, we also believe in walking the talk. We drive innovation at local manufacturing levels where our colleagues find new ways to reduce waste at their facilities.
For example, in Belarus, hot polystyrene that becomes dust in our equipment filters is collected and coloured to match new products for manufacture, and is returned to the production cycle, avoiding waste. Additionally, instead of disposing of trays that were used to test product absorbency, the team now presses all water from the trays so that they can be recycled back into the system. Now that’s closing the loop on our water resource too!
