We are developing more sustainable packaging that assures safety, strength, barrier properties – among other performance qualities. To deliver on our commitments, we’re focused on three areas:
Developing recyclable materials
Most of our packaging is ready to be recycled, and we’re innovating to develop new materials so that it can all be recycled, wherever it is used.
Developing innovative formats
We are designing packaging that makes separation and recycling easy – and that includes avoiding coupling unrecyclable materials in our products.
Increasing recycling rates
With customers, suppliers, NGOs governments and others, we’re encouraging development of more infrastructure to collect, sort and recycle packaging.
