Essentra

Essentra, a UK-based Plastics Packaging Film and Sheet (including Laminated) Manufacturing company, reported estimated total carbon emissions of approximately 99.68 million kg CO2e in 2025. This includes about 2.83 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, approximately 15.09 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions (location-based), and around 82.69 million kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions.

In 2024, Essentra's estimated total carbon emissions were approximately 107.77 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 2.78 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (location-based) at approximately 15.15 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions around 89.84 million kg CO2e.

For 2023, Essentra reported total carbon emissions of approximately 150.29 million kg CO2e. This comprised around 3.17 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 15.39 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (location-based), and about 131.73 million kg CO2e from Scope 3.

Looking back, in 2022, total reported emissions were approximately 218.03 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 3.42 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (location-based) at around 22.59 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 188.18 million kg CO2e. In 2021, total emissions were significantly higher at approximately 461.46 million kg CO2e, including about 8.31 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, around 53.07 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (location-based), and roughly 390.07 million kg CO2e from Scope 3.

Essentra has set ambitious climate commitments. The company has Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved targets. They commit to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across their value chain by 2050. Near-term targets include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030 from a 2019 baseline. Furthermore, Essentra aims to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions intensity from purchased goods and services, and upstream transportation and distribution by 55% per GBP of value added by 2030 from a 2022 base year. Long-term targets include a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2040 from a 2019 base year and a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 emissions by 2050 from a 2022 base year. The SBTi classifies Essentra's near-term Scope 1 and 2 targets as consistent with a 1.5°C warming scenario.
