Our sustainability approach
Sustainability at IPL Schoeller
As one company, we combine decades of innovation and expertise to design packaging that lasts and protects what matters. By reducing emissions, reusing materials and acting responsibly, we help build a more sustainable, circular future.
Double Materiality Assessment
Defining our sustainability priorities
Both legacy companies previously carried out Double Materiality Assessments and identified the same priority areas:
Climate Change (E1)
Circular Economy (E5)
Own Workforce (S1)
Business Conduct (G1)
We are now developing a joint Double Materiality Assessment that will form the basis for our future sustainability reporting and disclosures.
We are active members of:
Roundtable for Reusable Container Trays and Pallets (RCTP) in Europe
The Roundtable for Reusable Containers, Trays, and Pallets (RCTP) promotes the use of reusable transport packaging to reduce waste.
Stiftung Initiative Mehrweg in Europe
Stiftung Initiative Mehrweg aims to provide support for the conservation of natural resources and the protection of the environment by increasing the amount of reusable packaging in all sectors.
Association of Plastics Recyclers (APR) in the US and Canada
The Association of Plastics Recyclers drives industry-wide circularity by setting recyclability standards, advocating for policy, creating market demand for post-consumer recycled plastics, and providing design guides that help ensure plastic packaging is optimized for recyclability.
Reusable Packaging Association (RPA) in the US
IPL Schoeller is engaged with RPA, which accelerates supply chain adoption and optimization of reusable packaging through education and advocacy.
