Plastipak's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Plastipak reported significant carbon emissions totalling approximately 4,000,000,000 kg CO2e (or 3,693,099 tonnes CO2e) across all scopes. The breakdown of emissions is as follows: Scope 1 emissions accounted for about 69,913,000 kg CO2e (approximately 70,000 tonnes CO2e), while Scope 2 emissions reached approximately 476,914,000 kg CO2e (around 477,000 tonnes CO2e), with a market-based total of about 260,366,000 kg CO2e (approximately 260,000 tonnes CO2e). The majority of their emissions stem from Scope 3, which encompasses the entire value chain, indicating a substantial area for potential improvement. Despite the high levels of emissions, Plastipak has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. This lack of defined climate commitments may reflect broader industry challenges in addressing emissions, particularly within the packaging sector. As a company headquartered in the US, Plastipak's climate strategy will be crucial in aligning with global sustainability goals and responding to increasing regulatory pressures.
