How do we determine what amount of recycled content is used in a plastic packaging production? Mechanically and chemically recycled plastic resin is often mixed with virgin resin during production, so it can be difficult to tell exactly how much of what makes up a particular item purchased by consumers. With verifiable bookkeeping called ‘Mass Balance,’ however, manufacturers can come closer to tracking the sustainable characteristics of circular/bio-based materials, a process independently certified through groups including ISCC - International Sustainability and Carbon Certification PLUS –complex subjects unpacked here: https://lnkd.in/eV27Ee-B #SustainabilityUnpacked #Sustainability #ISCCPlus #ISCCcertification #ISCCcertified #DoingtheRightThing

It’s National Electricity Day this Saturday! Most people credit Benjamin Franklin for discovering electricity on June 15th, 1752. It’s now celebrated annually to raise awareness about the role electricity plays in our lives and the strides made to conserve energy. At Sonoco, we’re doing our part to conserve valuable resources and reduce emissions. This year, we signed our first Virtual Purchase Power Agreement with ENGIE for a 270-megawatt wind turbine project in Texas, which will generate renewable energy credits equaling nearly half of the electricity we produce in the US, furthering our emissions reduction goals. The wind turbines themselves produce enough electricity to power thousands of homes and at least 10 of our own plants! Learn more at the link below, then tell us how you're working to use less energy by posting in the comments section. https://lnkd.in/eHQmUmAx #NationalElectricityDay #Sustainability #Decarbonization #ESGgoals #VPPA #RenewableEnergy

Our redesign of Kellanova Europe’s iconic Pringles tube stacks up against two dozen-plus brands shortlisted for the 2024 Environmental Packaging Awards. Now in its second year, this program by Packaging News recognizes trailblazers, pioneers and sustainable packaging innovators. The innovative efforts of Kellanova and Sonoco to enhance Pringles’ recyclability by replacing its metal end with a fibre-based one shows how ‘Better Packaging’ solutions impact the consumer, the business and the environment, and we couldn’t be prouder of the visionaries who helped us cross the finish line and capture not one but TWO award nominations – the ‘Sustainable Innovation of the Year’ and best ‘Snacks & Confectionary Packaging Project.’ This year’s winners will be announced late June at the Environmental Packaging Summit in London. We look forward to celebrating the achievements of all our winners and finalists! #BetterPackagingBetterLife #Recyclability #FoodPackaging #PackagingDesign #PackagingInnovations #PackagingIndustry #Pringles #CircularEconomy #awards2024
