Sustainability

• Leveraging our proprietary closure technology, we are qualifying new designs with major beverage and food companies to remove from HDPE and PET bottles that will eliminate over 500,000 pounds of non-recyclable foil liners a year
• Our Design group is actively working with customers to light-weight their packaging, which would eliminate over 500,000lbs of resin a year
• We have implemented 46 MHS Hot Runners, which eliminates 162,000lbs of resin in runner scrap materials

In partnership with major beverage and food brands, we have launched over 10,000 reusable cups and bowls, eliminating over 80,000 single use cups with plans to expand to over 1MM cups and bowls

• Our design team is trained on the APR Guidelines for Designing for Recyclability
• We encourage customers to avoid mixing materials and to design products out of easily recyclable materials
• With our proprietary closure designs, we have transitioned fabric and home care closures from PP to HDPE (a widely accepted material in the recycling stream), contributing to ~2 million lbs of material being more widely recycled

• We have partnered with our customers to qualify parts that will use around ~1.5 million lbs of recycled content per year, with projects underway to utilize an additional 2 million lbs of recycled content per year
• We are part of the APR Demand Champion program to continually drive demand for recycled content
• Using technical molding principles, we have proven the ability to achieve 100% recycled content in multiple product applications

We believe in partnerships to drive the Circular Economy. We are signatories of the Ellen MacArthur Pledge for a New Plastics Economy, Association of Plastics Recyclers Demand Champions, and have recently joined the Healthcare Plastics Recycling Coalition to reduce plastic waste in the Healthcare space as well. We are also Operation Clean Sweep Certified and participate annually in the International Coastal Clean-Up.
