The challenge:
Making data-informed product decisions
The packaging industry has historically relied on petrochemical and emissions-intensive raw materials to manufacture its products.
As signatories to The Climate Pledge, Pregis has committed to reaching net zero carbon by 2040, ten years ahead of the Paris Agreement goals.
“Reducing our emissions comes down to how we design our products and partnering with value chain actors, such as raw material suppliers, which drive decarbonisation faster.” explains Ryan Wolcott, Pregis' Chief Sustainability Officer.
Transitioning the content of their products from virgin materials to recycled and renewable resources will require making decisions that align with the company’s financial objectives.
“Environmental sustainability is an opportunity for companies to maximise their business value while simultaneously protecting the environment.”
