Avery Dennison Label and Packaging Materials has joined the U.S. Plastics Pact, an organization that provides solutions that aim to drive change and create a path toward a circular economy for plastics in the United States by 2025.
As part of the U.S. Plastics Pact, members like Avery Dennison recognize that significant, systemwide change is imperative to realize a circular economy for plastics.
As such, the U.S. Pact is convening more than 110 businesses, retailers, not-for-profit organizations, government agencies, and research institutions across the plastics value chain to bring one voice to U.S. packaging through national initiatives and innovative solutions for rethinking products, packaging, and business models.
Avery Dennison is committed to reaching its sustainability goals by the year 2030 to help pave the way to a more sustainable future. The goals were developed based on the company’s existing commitment to waste diversion, enabling plastics circularity and providing products that contain recycled content. In signing the U.S. Plastics Pact, Avery Dennison will gain more insights into the market, driving innovations designed to reduce the environmental impact of its products and operations.
The U.S. Plastics Pact emphasizes measurable change and as such Avery Dennison is committed to transparent, annual reporting which will be used to document annual progress. The U.S. Plastics Pact’s “Roadmap to 2025” identifies key milestones and national solutions to achieving the U.S. targets and realizing a circular economy in which plastic never becomes waste.
