Improving our sustainability performance is one of Innovia’s primary objectives. We have signed the New Plastics Economy Global Commitment led by the Ellen Macarthur Foundation and adopted the United Nations ‘Sustainable Development Goals’, providing us with a framework to evaluate our current position and enabling us to identify the next steps to improve the contribution we make. We are very committed to transparent environmental disclosure and are a part of the Science-BasedTargets intiative (SBTi).

Recyclability

Recyclability is at the forefront of our design criteria as we develop new products. To drive the process forward, the use of mono-materials is essential. Mixed plastics are making the recycling more difficult and costly. More and more of Innovia’s products are certified recyclable, consequently contributing to resource conservation.

In our strive for a sustainable tomorrow innovation is a key factor. Innovia is aware of the responsibility we have as a major producer of speciality high performance films – and as renowned innovators for the packaging and labels industry. Each new product  we develop is measured not only by versality or machinability, but most important by its sustainability.

Innovia is monitoring any emissions from our site to make sure we are operating well within regulatory conditions all the time. We also are improving our systems to ensure that zero waste is going to landfill.
