Polyplastics's reported carbon emissions
In 2021, Polyplastics reported total carbon emissions of approximately 56,760 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 6,790 kg CO2e for Scope 3, with no data available for Scope 2 emissions. This reflects a continued commitment to monitoring and managing their carbon footprint. Over the years, Polyplastics has shown a trend of decreasing emissions in Scope 1, from about 62,690 kg CO2e in 2013 to 56,760 kg CO2e in 2021. However, the company has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, indicating a potential area for future improvement. The absence of detailed emissions data for 2022 suggests that Polyplastics may be in the process of refining their reporting practices. Overall, while the company has made strides in emissions reduction, further transparency and commitment to specific climate targets could enhance their sustainability profile.
