Circularity and a world without waste

At the heart of our sustainability strategy is our desire to reduce our environmental footprint related to climate, land, and water and to make a positive environmental impact. This means rethinking production processes, improving resource efficiency through beneficial use of byproducts, reducing waste, and reducing Carbon Dioxide Equivalent ('CO₂e') emissions.

It also means supplying packaging that protects our customers’ products and is designed to help avoid packaging waste. Our operations strive to embody a circular business model and our sustainable forestry and fiber sourcing policy supports the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity.

In Planet, our priorities are: 

Climate Change
We are managing our CO₂eemissions by focusing on energy demand reduction, improving our energy efficiency, as well as moving from fossil fuels to low-carbon renewable energy where feasible. Our circular business model also supports our approach to climate change. 

Forest
Approximately 45% of fiber used in our products is from virgin materials sourced from responsibly managed forests. Sustainable forest management involves managing supplies of responsible, renewable fiber, while protecting biodiversity and ecosystems. 

Water
Over 90% of the water we use is returned to nature in good condition and the rest evaporates during our processes or is bound to the product. We focus on improving the quality of water discharge, decreasing water intake, and understanding water related risks. 

Waste
Approximately 55% of fibers used in our products are recycled fiber, supporting a resource efficient circular economy. Our raw material is renewable and recyclable. We continually seek alternative uses for our byproducts and waste.
