NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / October 10, 2025 / We work hard to use packaging that does more than protect our products and delight our consumers.

STRATEGIC APPROACH
We believe that by improving our packaging and measuring our performance, we can make progress towards our long-term aim of advancing our support for a more circular economy for packaging.
CIRCULARITY IN PRACTICE
Working to help advance a more circular economy demands infrastructure development, investment, an enabling policy and regulatory environment, and cooperation between multiple stakeholders.
There are many challenges that may impede the advancement of a circular economy for packaging, including a landscape of disconnected national and sub-national policies, the need to transform complex global supply chains, and the sourcing of high cost and limited availability materials.
Collaboration is key to overcoming challenges and achieving progress. We collaborate with many companies and other stakeholders on topics ranging from innovation of more sustainable alternative materials to helping develop enhanced policies, including Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). While impact from collaboration requires time to coordinate and deploy resources across many companies, we continue to make steady progress together.
Demonstrating our commitment to collaboration, in 2024 we continued to co-chair the CGF Plastic Waste Coalition of Action (PWCoA) Taskforce on Flexible plastic packaging, advancing important work to align consumer packaged goods companies on common requirements for flexible paper packaging and principles for effective EPR that includes flexible plastic packaging.
ACTION PLANS AND PROGRESS
We aim to remove unnecessary packaging and simplify packaging materials across the business. Our three part approach includes:
-
Reducing Packaging by aiming to utilize packaging that is lightweight, safe and, where appropriate can be reused or recycled.
-
Evolving Packaging involves aiming to design our packaging to be recyclable, removing problematic materials, and including recycled plastic, where appropriate, to help reduce packaging waste. Our goal is to use packaging that is designed to be recyclable and continue to use recycled content.
