Reduce

Through technological innovations we have been able to reduce our energy and resource consumption and our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. One way we have been able to do this is through lightweighting.

Lightweighting

By lightweighting, we are able to manufacture containers with less plastic while maintaining the integrity of the containers and meeting our customers’ performance requirements.

Lightweighting, even a small amount, can yield significant cost savings and savings of natural resources, positively impacting the environment. We have many customer success stories that demonstrate this.

Benefits of Lightweighting:

  • Reduced amount of resin used
  • Lighter weight containers
  • Increased cube efficiencies
  • Decreased fuel usage
  • Reduced transportation costs
  • Reduced GHG emissions

Sustainability is a key consideration when developing new technologies. We continue to look for new lightweighting solutions that will reduce the amount of resources used without sacrificing the integrity of our containers.
