Quick Wins
Use recycled plastic for flexible packaging globally
Reduce carbon footprint by optimized specifications (reduced plastic), maximize recycled plastic use, ensuring all packaging is recyclable, applying collection and recycling schemes to reuse material.
Yara
Reduce carbon footprint in packaging coatings value chain
Carbon reduction plan for coatings value chain, incl. process efficiency, circular solutions, solvent reduction, and water-based materials, led to 9% Scope 3 CO2e reduction in 2023 vs 2018 baseline.
AkzoNobel
Implement metrics system for circular packaging
DS Smith Packaging created a set of Circular Design Metrics with five focus areas including design, recovery, and efficiency, applying them into the manufacturing process.
DS Smith
Transform product portfolio with assessment methodology
Evaluation methodology for sustainability evaluates products in the portfolio based on set criteria, promoting innovation and classifying offerings
Sika
Optimize solvent recycling and recovery
Solvent recovery and recycling initiative significantly reduces carbon emissions and promotes sustainable processes in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Reduce food waste & costs with data analytics & tech system
Hotels Magic Costa Blanca uses LightBlue's FIT Food Waste Tech system with significant reductions in food waste, costs, and carbon emissions.
Change product standard requirements to reduce food waste
Large volumes of food are discarded because they don’t meet aesthetic standards. Changing product standards could reduce food waste, associated emissions, and financial losses.
The Carbon Trust
Produce sodium chlorite with clean energy
Cutting emissions by reducing imports while addressing Scope 2 emissions through the use of clean electrical energy.
Reduce food waste with efficient packaging
Packaging can reduce food waste by extending shelf life and preventing contamination. However, packaging strategies should be carefully designed to minimize waste and emissions.
The Carbon Trust
Design low-carbon products with circular economy principles
Design low carbon products by incorporating circular economy principles into product design focusing on eco-friendly materials & energy efficiency.
Lower product emissions with recycled (PCR) plastics
Replace virgin plastic by using PCR (post-consumer recycled) plastics in products to reduce GHG emissions, conserve natural resources and divert waste from landfills and oceans
Acer
Build with biobased materials
Building with biobased materials instead of CO2 intensive materials like concrete reduces CO2 emissions and energy consumption in buildings.
Invest in innovative pulping and paper making technologies
Adopting technologies that are more efficient than conventional methods will reduce GHG emissions from fuel combustion, and reduce the energy inputs associated with paper production
Forest Solutions Group
Optimize sorting & recycling for paper and textile
Adopt sorting technologies combined with improved design and better integration of recovered paper into manufacturing processes can reduce GHG emissions improving resource efficiency.
