As a global business,
Plastipak's goal is to operate profitably and grow
our market shares, giving us the opportunity to
reinvest in the company, our associates and the
communities in which we operate.
Our Sustainability Report outlines the methods
we use to build sustainable packaging, as well
as the numerous assets devoted to Plastipak's sustainability
initiative — innovative products, a diverse and
talented workforce and advanced manufacturing technologies.
Plastipak's progress in sustainability, as the
report demonstrates in detail, includes the following:
- A formalized conservation program for energy;
- Reduction of compressed air leakage throughout
all of Plastipak's U.S. operations;
- Achievement of greater fuel economy and
reduction of volatile emissions by Plastipak's subsidiary,
Whiteline Express, Ltd.;
- Increased use of Plastipak's lightweighting programs
to reduce the amount of plastic in each container;
- Between two and three billion containers recycled
annually; and
- Decreasing the amount of non-recyclable waste while increasing the amount of recyclable waste.
