SC Johnson Leading the Way in Reusable Plastic Packaging for Household Products

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation and the UN Environment Programme have released their Global Commitment 2024 Progress Report, highlighting industry progress toward reducing plastic waste. SC Johnson, one of the world's leading manufacturers of household cleaning and other consumer and professional products, leads with the highest percentage of reusable plastic packaging in the Global Commitment's household and personal care sector, at 12%, and is working to grow that number. The company also achieved two key milestones - reducing virgin plastic and incorporating recycled materials into packaging - a year ahead of the 2025 commitment.

"Despite our progress and the industry's forward movement, there is still much to be done. Like the other businesses highlighted in this report, we've been taking voluntary steps to positively impact the plastic waste crisis, but to meet our shared goals we need government regulation," said Fisk Johnson, Chairman and CEO of SC Johnson. "Next week, people from all over the world will gather for the planned final global plastic pollution treaty negotiations. I hope we come out with a strong, reasonable UN treaty, which will evolve over time and spur much-needed collective action to end global plastic pollution."
