Amcor, Delterra, Mars and P&G jointly announce the launch of a strategic partnership to stem the tide of plastic pollution in the Global South. These global leaders will work together to scale upstream and downstream solutions for a circular plastics economy, jointly committing $6 million USD over five years. The partners are coming together with a shared commitment to urgent environmental action and a shared understanding that the challenge of plastic pollution cannot be solved without a systemic and holistic approach to roll out scalable and sustainable programs to boost the transition to a circular economy. The strategic partners call on like-minded organizations to join this first group and add their support to drive real change, at scale.

Aptar’s consistent recognition as a climate leader underscores its dedication to environmental stewardship. The company has implemented a comprehensive climate transition plan aligned with the latest climate science, aiming to support the transition towards a low-carbon economy. By year-end 2024, Aptar achieved significant milestones, including sourcing more than 95% of its total global electricity consumption from renewable sources. In addition, the company was recognized for its actions to cut emissions, mitigate climate risks and further the low-carbon economy, by environmental non-profit CDP, securing a place on its prestigious “Climate A List” for 2024. Aptar has been actively reducing emissions for much longer than the two-years that this ranking considers. Since the Company’s baseline year 2019, Aptar has achieved a reduction of more than 75% of Scope 1 + Scope 2 absolute emissions, as monitored toward their validated science-based target. In addition to this recognition from USA Aptar has also been named among America’s Most Responsible Companies 2024 by Newsweek for six consecutive years and one of Barron’s 100 Most Sustainable U.S. Companies for seven consecutive years.

In shipping and packaging, there are a lot of definitions of what “sustainability” means. In fact, because there are so many different ways that companies can make more sustainable choices, it can sometimes feel just as elusive as Bigfoot. Companies often have big ideas on how they can reduce their carbon footprints. But when it comes down to creating a definitive plan, it slips quietly into the forest, leaving us with only a grainy picture of what we want to do — and no truly concrete way to move forward with our sustainability efforts. What we do know is that shipping has a massive impact on the environment. Parcel shipping has more than doubled in the last five years, and its year-over-year growth is 17%. This affects greenhouse gas emissions, and we know that we need to create an actionable plan to mitigate these environmental repercussions. Doing this can help companies take real steps toward actually reducing their carbon footprint, so that sustainability efforts yield real, not mythical, results.
