Our environmental goals, materials, energy and carbon efficiency, are based on three elements:

1. Within our own manufacturing operations (read more) 2. In the design and development of our products and services (read more) 3. In the amount of waste our products reduce once they leave the Sealed Air factory (read more)

For our products and services, traditionally in the early stages of product development, environmental performance has been is assessed in two categories – resource materials efficiency and energy efficiency –and performance targets are established for both and applied to the design. This methodology has been integral to our new product development process for years. Today, we are moving toward adding a third assessment area for new product development – carbon efficiency – and are working at utilizing and perfecting modeling tools that will accurately measure the complete environmental footprint of our packaging products and they products they protect.

For decades, our environmental performance efforts have focused primarily on reducing the amount of materials and weight of our products. Beyond saving raw materials, these efforts have produced measurable results in energy conversation through production line efficiencies and also reducing the amount of fuel our customers use to store and ship products. Over the past several years, we have broadened our efforts to include investing in the development of renewable materials and increasing the amount of recycled content used to manufacture products; and strengthening our recovery efforts.

We know there is no single solution to meeting the sustainable packaging needs of our customers. We also know our environmental objectives must be achieved without compromising performance or value the package brings to the consumer.
