Keep ReadingPlastics have offered society a multitude of benefits, but the world's ability to cope with plastic waste is being overwhelmed. We have all seen how plastics now pollute our waterways and oceans, prompting growing environmental concerns and demands from governments, NGOs, and consumers for more sustainable alternatives.
Our consumers shouldn’t have to choose between the essentials they rely on every day and the need and desire to care for their environment. We’re working to ensure you don’t have to.
We seek to develop innovative materials and alternatives to traditional plastics while supporting development of a circular economy that will make more efficient use of earth’s precious resources. Our aspiration is to reduce our plastics footprint by 50% through reductions, renewables, and recycled substitutes, or through introducing reusable products or circular solutions.1
We can’t lose track of our own direct impacts either, so we continue to pursue our goal of achieving zero waste-to-landfill in our manufacturing operations.2
In 2022, we continued to make progress and drive meaningful change through our efforts to reduce plastic in our products and packaging and divert manufacturing waste from landfills.
Our approach to drive impact is guided by rigorous science and informed by clear, urgent need. We seek to source more recycled content and bio-based materials; use sustainable new materials that are recyclable, compostable, and biodegradable; and support the development and maturation of waste management infrastructure in both emerging and mature markets. These capabilities will be essential to unlocking circular material flows.
