How Can Design and Engineering Goals Drive Sustainability in 2024 and 2025?

- A reduction in plastic usage by over 35%, resulting in overall cost savings in packaging.

- Mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions.

- Enhancement of packaging design to optimize truck load capacity.

- Ensuring that all packaging is recyclable.

- Increasing the use of recycled content in packaging through engineered molds, aiming for 100% PCR.

- Phasing out problematic single-use packaging.

Sustainability, in this context, transcends the mere act of recycling or incorporating recycled plastic into our packaging; it entails a comprehensive shift towards a more significant utilization of recycled materials, reflecting our historical reliance on plastic in packaging.

Recognizing our social and environmental responsibility, it is imperative to create a greener environment for future generations.

As stewards of the planet, initiating small steps in a sustainability program is crucial. This involves adopting practices such as: 

A) Using transparent caps and closures for food and beverage packaging (ensuring non-toxic materials).

B) Employing transparent color caps and closures for non-food material packaging (also non-toxic).

C) Utilizing black pigmentation for pesticides and harmful product packaging (indicating toxic content).

These measures facilitate ease of segregation for relevant agencies, aiding in the identification and planning of plastic recycling based on material types and their applications within the system.
