Sustainability/Innovation
The plastics industry endorses the practice of conserving resources and minimizing the environmental and health impacts of plastics and plastic products. We support the use of:
- Environmental and energy-efficiency criteria in product design and purchasing decisions, along with product safety, cost, performance and availability.
- Environmental performance and energy criteria in product evaluations through a “systems” approach, using recognized life cycle analysis tools that include the entire “use” phase.
- Sustainable product criteria that reflect consensus-based decision-making, best available science, transparency, and openness to ALL stakeholders.
ACC’s Plastics Division supports sustainability initiatives that are conducted in accordance with these principles.
