We know our customers want products that contribute to a more sustainable, low-carbon future, including fiber-based alternatives to carbon-intensive products. Our products can offer a more sustainable alternative, and opportunities to advance a circular, low-carbon economy abound across every aspect of our value chain.
We recognize that to best discover and leverage these opportunities, we need to collaborate with customers, suppliers and each other to build circular processes into the work we do every day. And so we are.
Our Global Cellulose Fiber team led a two-part event in September 2021 to introduce the concepts of a circular economy, align them with our cellulose fiber business and brainstorm to discover more ways to contribute to the circular economy and provide renewable solutions for our customers. We engaged more than 100 employees from our innovation, technology, marketing, Customer Technical Service and sustainability teams in the sessions, surfacing 100+ innovative concepts that we are testing for feasibility and that focus on:
- Replacing plastic and petroleum-based materials for absorbent and specialty product groups
- Reducing lifecycle impacts including GHG emissions, waste and water use,
- Improving end of life solutions, through compostability and recyclability, and
- Allowing for less raw material consumption overall
