OUR 2025 COMMITMENT

We share the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s vision of a circular economy for plastic, where plastic never becomes waste.
 

Our circular
approach to
plastic
INNOVATE

so that 100% of our plastic packaging will be reusable, recyclable or compostable.

PROMOTE

the use of post-consumer recycled content of 10% on average by weight, across all plastics in our product basket.

COLLABORATE

with industry partners to increase reuse, recycling, and composting rates for plastics in the communities where we operate.

INSPIRED INNOVATION & COLLABORATION

How will we will achieve our 2025 goals? 
By blending art, science and technology to create innovative sustainable packaging. We also invest 1% of our packaging activities' annual revenues to support our sustainable product development efforts and actively meet our 2025 goals. 

Speaking of goals, we also joined, in 2020, the United Nations Global Compact! Take a look here.

INSPIRED INNOVATION & COLLABORATION

DID YOU know?

Your package graphic design can impact eligibility for compostability. Design, ink coverage, type of inks, and production methods all have an influence in attaining certification for your flexible packaging end-of-life. 

We have the expertise, knowledge, and technology to guide you through the process from ideation to certification for a sustainable flexible package.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation

What is the Ellen MacArthur Foundation?

Ellen MacArthur is a successful solo long-distance yachtswoman, who witnessed first hand the ocean plastic problem through her sailing experience.  In the context of the global plastics problem, she started the Ellen MacArthur Foundation in 2010 with a mission to accelerate the transition towards a circular economy by working with businesses, governments and academia.

TC Transcontinental Packaging was the first Canadian packaging manufacturer to join the Ellen MacArthur Foundation New Plastics Economy Global Commitment.

We share the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s common vision of a circular economy for plastic, where plastic never becomes waste. 

What is the New Plastics Economy?

Applying  the principles of the circular economy, whereby we keep resources in use for as long as possible, extract the maximum value while in use, then recover and regenerate products and materials at the end of its life.
