Sonoco Products Company (NYSE: SON), a global leader in value-added sustainable packaging, today announced it has earned accreditation with the Pet Sustainability Coalition (PSC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sonoco joined PSC in 2024 to align its packaging innovations with PSC\u2019s mission of advancing sustainable business practices across the pet industry. PSC accreditation is awarded to companies demonstrating tangible progress in environmental stewardship, social responsibility and transparent reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs a packaging provider with more than a century of experience, we see the pet sector as a powerful opportunity to apply our sustainability expertise where it matters most\u2014to people, pets and the planet,\u201d said Scott Byrne, Sonoco\u2019s Vice President of Global Sustainability. \u201cThis recognition validates the work we\u2019re doing to offer scalable, circular solutions that deliver on both performance and environmental responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sonoco\u2019s portfolio reflects this commitment with options that balance quality, freshness and recyclability. Its two- and three-piece steel cans offer durability, moisture protection and full recyclability. Meanwhile, its rigid paper containers feature up to 90% recycled fiber, supporting extended shelf life while reducing environmental impact. An example of this is the launch of German pet snack start-up DoggyLove treats in Sonoco\u2019s GREENCAN\u00ae container\u2014made with 92\u201398% fiber, enhanced print capabilities and strong curbside recyclability. The brand called it \u201ca high-quality, sustainable solution that reflects the values of our company.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEvery step toward becoming a more sustainable packaging solutions provider must be informed by a clear vision,\u201d said Sonoco President and CEO Howard Coker. \u201cOur people are the driving force behind these initiatives and product innovations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sonoco\u2019s accreditation goes beyond packaging. Through the Sonoco Foundation (now known as Sonoco in Action), the Company has partnered with the Darlington County Humane Society to reshape the trajectory of animal welfare and education in Hartsville, South Carolina, where the Company is based.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
