Siegwerk Commits To Science Based Targets
in line with a trajectory to keep global temperature increase to 1.5°C. Mars Wrigley Transitions With Amcor’s AmFiber Amcor, a global developer and producer of pack- aging solutions, partnered with Mars Wrigley Aus- tralia to transition its Mars, Snickers and Milky Way chocolate bars to Amcor’s AmFiber Performance Paper packaging. The new recyclable paper-based packaging, made from sustainably sourced paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, is lo- cally manufactured and can be printed with either flexographic or gravure technology and finished with a heat- or cold-seal adhesive. Mars Wrigley’s new paper packaging will be avail- able in Australian supermarkets and convenience stores from April 2023 and will have the ability to be recycled using traditional curbside recycling bins. In addition to the new packaging being more sustainable, Amcor tailored the solution to pro- cess efficiently along Mars Wrigley’s lines, help- ing the brand to meet Australia’s 2025 National Packaging Targets by eliminating more than 360 tons of plastic from Mars Wrigley’ production chain, once fully transitioned.
Siegwerk, a provider of printing inks and coatings for packaging applications and labels, has signed the commitment letter for the Science Based Tar- gets initiative (SBTi). The SBTi calls on companies to demonstrate their commitments to mitigating climate change by pub- licly pledging to reduce their greenhouse gas emis- sions with science-based targets. A target is consid- ered science-based if it is in line with the level of decarbonization required to keep the global tem- perature increase below 1.5°C compared with pre- industrial levels. The Science Based Targets initiative is a collabora- tion between the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF). It has already signed up more than 4000 companies. Siegwerk is committed to setting science-based targets as well as net-zero targets, including a long- term science-based target. The company is expect- ing to submit these targets to the SBTi in the first half of 2023. In doing so, Siegwerk will be part of the Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign and the Race to Zero campaign, aiming to reduce emissions
