Continuing to expand its investment in sustainability, flexible
packaging leader PAC Worldwide recorded considerable progress in
several key areas over the past year. The conservation-focused
gains are highlighted in the company’s annual Sustainability
Report, which reflects full-year 2023 data, the most recent
available.
Among the advances: Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions, as tracked
and calculated by Measurabl, fell an impressive 32.65% to 883.72
metric tons (MTCO2e). The metric pertains to fuel sources such as
natural gas, diesel, designated fuel oils, propane, compressed
natural gas (CNG), biodiesel, and renewable diesel.
Another improvement was PAC’s increased use of post-industrial
recycled content (21%) in producing its broad line of poly
products. The percentage of PIR consumed was the company’s highest
in nearly five decades of existence.
In addition, the report summarizes several sustainability
related achievements over the preceding year. They include having
PAC’s line of stock products tested and certified for recyclability
by outdoor furniture retailer Trex’s popular drop-off product
recycling program, NexTrex. PAC’s fully curbside recyclable
Ecojacket® packages, meanwhile, also received the “Optimally
Recyclable” designation, the highest level attainable by industry
group How2Recycle.
PAC Worldwide President Thomas Parenteau said, “Our annual
Sustainability Report gives us the opportunity to educate our peers
and our supply chain, both upstream and downstream, on specific
ways in which we can and are making a difference. This includes our
customer base as well as critical stakeholders such as recyclers
and regulators.”
Echoing that theme, John Bartell, Vice President of
Sustainability for PAC, said “The goal posts may keep moving due to
regulatory differences and the lack of standardization across
geographic and legislative jurisdictions, but the progress we are
making is undeniable. And the best is yet to come.”
