Sustainability Team Long-term Goals

At PHOENIX, sustainability is a company-wide effort. Our cross-functional team meets monthly to drive long-term initiatives that reduce our impact and improve efficiency across operations.

We’ve already reached 15% of our goal to cut energy intensity by 25% by 2031 and are developing a greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction target for our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, continuing our commitment to meaningful, measurable progress toward a more sustainable future.

Plastic Recycling Efforts

Our approach to sustainability starts with reducing waste and designing products with circularity in mind.

REDUCE: Our EcoStack® closures are designed for efficiency, requiring less plastic and allowing significantly more caps per carton compared to standard CT closures.
REUSE: We use 95% of our plastic regrind in the production of new closures, minimizing material waste and supporting a closed-loop process.
RECYCLE: Every PHOENIX closure is made to be recycled, helping customers and end users contribute to a more sustainable packaging lifecycle.
