Sustainable Materials
Selecting and developing materials that minimize environmental impact while delivering superior performance. Our materials strategy focuses on renewable, recycled, and responsible sources.
Our Materials Selection Criteria
Every material we use is evaluated against comprehensive sustainability criteria to ensure we make the most responsible choices.
Renewability
Preference for materials from renewable sources that can be replenished naturally.
Recyclability
Materials that can be easily recycled and reintegrated into production cycles.
Biodegradability
Natural breakdown without harmful residues when recycling is not possible.
Carbon Footprint
Lower greenhouse gas emissions throughout the material lifecycle.
Key Sustainable Materials
Bio-based Polymers
Derived from renewable resources like corn starch, sugarcane, and cellulose; reduce dependency on fossil fuels and lower carbon emissions.
Applications & Benefits
Recycled Plastics
Post-consumer recycled (PCR) and post-industrial recycled (PIR) plastics that reduce virgin material consumption and support circular economy.
Applications & Benefits
Sustainable Paper & Board
FSC-certified materials used for cartons, labels, and inserts fully recyclable and compostable.
Applications & Benefits
Natural Fibers
Cotton, bamboo, hemp, and other biodegradable fibers used for insoles, applicators, and cleaning accessories.
