Packaging & Materials Use
We recognize that the packaging we use has an impact on the world around us. To better understand and reduce that impact, we have developed strategic priorities and targets to guide and motivate us in exploring more sustainable options.
Our Progress
In the past five years, we’ve made progress through the following actions:
- Light-weighting Premier Protein plastic shake bottles
- Removal of unnecessary pallet packaging
- Transitioning away from PVC
- Use of bio-plastics to reduce GHG emissions vs. petroleum-based plastic
- Sourcing packaging manufactured with renewable electricity
We are integrating How2Recycle labeling onto some of our packaging to help educate consumers on recycling best practices, and are exploring additional labeling opportunities to improve consumer recycling compliance.
To educate ourselves on the latest sustainable packaging topics we are active members of the Sustainable Packaging Coalition. Packaging used by our brands carries the following certifications:
- Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)
- Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI)
- Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI)
- Bonsucro Certification
Strategic Packaging Priorities
These priorities guide in identifying opportunities to reduce our impact and ladder up to our Sustainable Sourcing Framework.
Packaging Goals
- 100% of cardboard and paper packaging made from sustainable forestry certified materials or recycled content by 2025
- 30% of our plastic packaging made from renewable or recycled materials by 2027
- 100% of packaging to be reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2030
