Solo Cup Company's reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data, Solo Cup Company does not report specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of detailed emissions data for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary and may inherit emissions data from its parent organisation, but no specific figures or reduction targets are provided. Solo Cup Company has not outlined any specific climate commitments or reduction initiatives, such as Science-Based Targets (SBTi) or other industry-standard climate pledges. This absence of data suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy.
