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.

We can become less reliant on new raw material by reducing, reusing and recycling wherever possible.

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

63%

In 2023, we offer a recyclable alternative for 63% of our product portfolio. At least 30% of the products we sell are already designed for recyclability, and we are working closely with our customers to do better.
