Reducing our environmental impact.
We keep investing in technology and operations that make manufacturing cleaner.
Renewable energy
About 1 MW of solar generation lowers our reliance on the grid and our carbon footprint.
Water security
A dedicated back-up water supply with reverse-osmosis filtration keeps us resilient and responsible.
In-house recycling
Production waste is recovered and recycled on site, keeping it out of landfill.
Waste management
Waste is monitored and handled responsibly across the plant.
Smarter packaging starts with better design.
Our technical team works with customers on packs that are more sustainable without giving up performance.
- Material down-gauging
Using less material while the pack still performs.
- Design for recycling
Structures that are easier to recycle.
- Alternative solutions
Exploring new technologies and packaging formats.
