Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions
We’re committed to reducing emissions by 25% by 2030, with an interim target of a 5% reduction in 2025.
In the past year, we have reduced emissions by 9%, largely due to a major coater upgrade, demonstrating how operational improvements drive meaningful progress toward a low carbon future.
Advancing Waste Management
Our goal is to reduce our landfill diversion metric by 10% by conducting waste audits at all facilities and optimizing resource recovery.
85% of our products are pulp-based and recyclable. We track six waste streams and are aiming for a 10% improvement in landfill diversion by 2025. Waste audits are underway at all sites to drive this progress.
Driving Energy Efficiency
This year, we’re aiming to cut energy use by 5% through targeted efficiency projects, including optimizing air pressure and fixing air leaks.
Despite growth, our original sites used 10% less electricity in 2024 (excluding the Iconex acquisition). In 2025, we’re targeting another 5% reduction through strategic energy efficiency improvement projects.
Life Cycle Assessments
We conducted LCAs to evaluate the environmental impact of key products, including Iconex’s linerless labels, Nekoosa’s application tapes, and Appvion’s thermal paper.
These studies identified opportunities for material optimization, emissions reduction, and waste efficiency. The insights gained will refine our sustainability strategies and guide future decisions on product development and supply chain improvements.
