Discover how TekniPlex continues to integrate sustainability into its global operations through industry-leading materials science solutions. Our FY25 report outlines key initiatives, strategic investments, and the people behind our efforts to drive meaningful environmental and social impact.
We pioneer sustainability through concrete actions. Our commitment to environmental responsibility is demonstrated through key achievements in freight savings, waste reduction, water conservation, and energy efficiency.
Renewably sourced materials (via mass-balance), maintaining functionality and performance
Energy saving, optimize a customizable per-product sustainability roadmap for product design, scrap reduction during production
Closed loop water system, transportation pallets for goods to and from customers
Closed loop manufacturing, process scrap/ink/regrind
Renewably-sourced materials, biodegradable, compostable
Less material, waste, environmental footprint, material weight, and components
Post-industrial or post-consumer resins, secondary packaging components e.g., pallets, corner boards, corrugates
Eco-Design products promoting circularity, facilitating collection and sorting at the Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs)
We're pioneering sustainability through concrete actions. Our commitment to environmental responsibility is demonstrated through key achievements in freight savings, waste reduction, water conservation, and energy efficiency.
Our commitment to the community goes beyond delivering more sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions. This is why we recognize the community as one of our stakeholders and intend to develop activities to strengthen the relationships of trust with those close to our operations.
At TekniPlex, our environmental and social responsibility goes beyond products – it's a mindset. We leverage materials science to innovate sustainably, we empower our people, and we're committed to community involvement. Continuously rethinking our role, we provide responsible products for our customers, their consumers, and the planet, fostering growth and environmental stewardship.
2025 Sustainability ReportTekniPlex has earned the EcoVadis “Committed” Badge, recognizing our ongoing progress in sustainability and active participation in the EcoVadis global assessment. This distinction highlights improvements across our operations and reinforces our commitment to responsible practices in Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.
Sustainability needs to be practical. It needs to reduce our environmental impact while also extending the life of fresh food, or helping healthcare companies address patient safety. Only when sustainable solutions meet the demands of both the Earth and the marketplace can they become a real growth engine. This is what we call 'Sustainability And.' When we use our materials science expertise to combine sustainability with other needs, we take a more comprehensive approach to eco-consciousness.

TekniPlex minimizes freight and energy consumption through strategically placed stock, fewer rushed and partial shipments, and continuous improvement efforts.
For each ton of recycled material used to make our pulp products, we save three cubic yards of landfill space – the equivalent of a 25-story building.
We use 7,000 gallons less water for each ton of recycled material we process instead of virgin pulp.
We save about 4,100 kilowatt hours of energy for every ton of recycled paper we process instead of virgin pulp.
Fully transparent, recyclable blister package, where infrastructure exists, with medium to high barrier to moisture.
Multi-layer tubing for insulin infusion reduces preservative absorption, allowing for fewer infusion set changeovers. This ultimately reduces the number of tubing sets used annually and wastes less unused insulin.
Process improvements for an 80% reduction in commercial production downtime, reducing cost. Improved package seal improves durability in high heat and humidity, and during gas purge washes during EO sterilization.
Our GeoPack brand focuses on sustainable packaging made from renewable and recycled materials that minimize our carbon footprint.
Designed to survive the rigors of a harsh case-ready environment and deliver attractive shelf appeal. Shatter resistant, even in cold environments, to help reduce breakage, product loss, leaks, and safety recall risk.
Made from up to 100% PCR polypropylene resin, these tubes have the same performance characteristics as those made from conventional resins, with less environmental impact.
New Polypropylene based eco-design, recyclable and lighter weight, reducing environmental footprint. (local recycling programs vary by municipality).
Produced from recycled materials such as post-consumer newspaper and cardboard, and widely recyclable. Molded fiber solutions are a conscientious alternative that combines product protection and sustainability.
