Could you say more about the work you have been doing with Coca-Cola and Costco?

Chris Davidson: These partnerships are great examples of customer collaboration driving innovation.
With Costco, we’ ve recently developed paper-based alternatives to replace plastic handles for their multipack products, taking more than 230 tons of single-use plastic out of the system to date.
Last year, we also worked with Liberty Coca-Cola in Philadelphia to replace plastic rings with our PETCollar Shield Plus paperboard carrier for multipack beverages.
That change alone is expected to eliminate around 100 tons of plastic each year. What I love about these projects is that they show how innovative design and sustainability come together to help customers meet their sustainability goals and advance the circular economy without sacrificing function or aesthetics.
