Sustainability

We are investing our time, focus and energy in becoming a better, more sustainable packaging business.

Investing in Better

Our broad and ambitious sustainability strategy drives us to design new, recyclable products and to close the loop by using more recycled material in our post-consumer recycled films. We will also become more efficient, cut carbon emissions, and help our customers and end-consumers play their part.

Working with others to make our industry more sustainable is critical, as is making sure our people are safe, mutually respected and engaged as they help us do better.

Our strategy is having real impact

Investing in Better is reducing our emissions

Reducing our emissions by becoming more efficient is a win-win – the right thing to do for the planet, and greater resilience to climate change for kp.

-47%

Our Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions are now 47% down on our 2019 baseline, and we are partnering with our suppliers to further reduce Scope 3 emissions, too.

Investing in Better is sending zero waste to landfill

We’ve made significant progress and have now achieved zero waste to landfill in our sites, where legally possible.

zero waste to landfill achieved

We will work hard to protect and build on this achievement, and to reduce the total amount of waste produced in our operations, which we are looking at reducing by a further 5% by the end of 2024.

Investing in Better is designing for recyclability

Designing for recyclability helps us become more sustainable in a way that both satisfies changing market demands and builds business resilience.

68%

In 2023, we offered a recyclable alternative for 68% of our product portfolio. At least 31% of the products we sell are already designed for recyclability, and we are working closely with our customers to do better.
