A Shared Vision for Sustainability
As sustainability takes center stage in the packaging industry, collaboration is driving meaningful change. At CSI, we recognize that achieving a circular economy and reducing environmental impact requires cooperative action. Through our alliances with sustainability-focused partners, we are driving innovation and establishing industry benchmarks that promote a more responsible approach to packaging.
Through these collaborations, CSI actively supports the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Business Benchmarks, aligning our initiatives with global priorities. By building partnerships that emphasize recyclability, responsible sourcing, and waste reduction, we are contributing to a more sustainable future for consumer-packaged goods (CPG) brands and the broader industry.
Partnering for Progress
To advance sustainability in packaging, CSI leverages our relationships in leading organizations such as the U.S. Plastics Pact, Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC), and Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR). These partnerships allow us to stay at the forefront of best practices, ensuring that our products help meet evolving sustainability standards and support a more circular economy.
⦁ The U.S. Plastics Pact provides a collaborative framework to drive measurable change, targeting ambitious sustainability goals such as increasing the recyclability of plastic packaging and incorporating higher levels of recycled content.
⦁ The Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC) brings together industry leaders to enhance sustainability through research, innovation, and responsible sourcing initiatives.
⦁ The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) helps develop and implement design-for-recycling guidelines, ensuring that CSI’s closures contribute to an efficient and effective recycling system.
Sustainability is a team effort, and we’re proud to play a role. By collaborating with these organizations, CSI is driving industry-wide efforts to improve packaging recyclability, reduce waste, and advance responsible sourcing standards.
Innovating for a Greener Future
Effective sustainability also requires innovation. CSI is committed to developing packaging solutions that reduce environmental impact. Through collaborations with sustainability activators and manufacturing partners, we are working to:
⦁ Reduce reliance on virgin materials With a focus on integrating post-consumer recycled (PCR) content into our closure solutions, aligning with industry goals for material circularity.
⦁ Increase recycled content with solutions like PolyCycle, enabling high-quality, post-consumer, recycled materials in closures.
⦁ Develop lightweight closures that require fewer resources without compromising performance, contributing to lower carbon emissions throughout the supply chain.
⦁ Design fully recyclable solutions that seamlessly integrate with existing recycling systems, ensuring that closures are effectively recovered and recycled.
Sustainability isn’t about compromise—it’s about designing smarter solutions that work for both businesses and the planet. By aligning with the U.S. Plastics Pact’s 2030 targets, we help brands lower their product carbon footprint.
