In 2024, Polyplastics reported total carbon emissions of approximately 651,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions accounting for about 1,300 kg CO2e. This marks a slight increase from 2023, where total emissions were around 633,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions at approximately 1,210 kg CO2e. Over the past few years, the company has shown a commitment to monitoring and reporting its emissions, although specific reduction targets or initiatives have not been disclosed. Polyplastics has not established any formal reduction targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of significant reduction commitments suggests that while the company is tracking its emissions, it may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards for sustainability and carbon neutrality. Overall, Polyplastics's emissions data reflects a growing awareness of climate impact, but further action may be necessary to achieve meaningful reductions in the future.
