CCL Design
Sustainability

This is our commitment:

CCL have signed a global commitment to the New Plastics Economy led by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation to drive change through active partnerships.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation launched in 2010 to accelerate the transition to a circular economy by following three key principles:

1. Eliminate all problematic and unnecessary plastic items.
2. Innovate to ensure that the plastics we do need are reusable, recyclable, or compostable.
3. Circulate all the plastic items we use to keep them in the economy and out of the environment.

We joined the Global Commitment of the New Plastics Economy led by the Ellen McArthur Foundation, as part of our active partnerships towards circularity and sustainability.

Our Sustainability
Commitments

• By 2025, all CCL customers will be able to choose label products and solutions that will not hinder consumer-packaged goods to be recyclable, reusable or compostable.
• CCL is committed to limit industrial waste ending up in the environment or landfills by implementing waste reduction strategies. Our goal is to eliminate all landfill from our manufacturing process by 2030 in North America and Europe and cut today’s level by 90% globally by 2025. Incineration is only an acceptable alternative to landfill if it is energy generating.
• CCL will commit a fixed financial percentage of its R&D resources annually towards further development of sustainable and circular products.
• CCL will continue to work collaboratively across the plastic value chain to ensure packaging is sorted and recycled in practice at scale by developing enabling label solutions.
