Innovating Tomorrow, Today
We all care about the materials we engage with every day. With our sustainable portfolio EarthChem™, we are dedicated to pioneering sustainable chemical solutions that contribute to a greener and healthier planet. We take a collaborative, customer-focused approach to creating success for brand owners and manufacturers by designing and delivering innovative, environmentally friendly products that fulfill our aspiration to create a better tomorrow.
Sustainable Chemicals
EarthChem™ includes products made with chemicals that pose little to no threat to human health and the environment via biodegradability. For this pillar, Appvion boasts a revolutionary phenol-free chemistry derived from natural sources, ensuring minimal impact on human health and the environment.
Sustainable Materials
Products within this pillar have physical materials with environmentally friendly properties, such as materials sourced from circular economy models. For instance, the base stock for Appvion’s product Résiste® 15% PCW E is manufactured using recycled paper materials. Appvion includes products that leave less carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable, circular economy.
Sustainable Applications
Products within this pillar have a sustainable feature that applies to how a human interacts with it. For example, any Appvion product that is recyclable, dispersible, or recyclable through repulping programs would fall under this pillar. Appvion's topcoated paper products undergo a sustainable repulping program, minimizing environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices across various industries.
Working Smarter
We are responsible for using as few resources as possible, as efficiently as possible. That’s why we focus on implementing climate solutions, diverting waste from landfills, and using water responsibly. We are committed to improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions associated with our operations. Our employees are continuously finding ways to improve our waste management throughout the lifecycle of our business, and Appvion is committed to ensuring responsible water consumption and management in our operations.
Acting Responsibly
Acting responsibly at all times is a cornerstone of our culture. We will keep our people safe while focusing on engagement, becoming a more diverse company, and serving as good neighbors in our communities. The safety and health of all our employees is a top priority and goes well beyond compliance with regulations — we put people first and ensure the safety of our team members above all else. We seek to empower all employees to contribute their best and create a flexible, diverse, and inclusive environment that inspires innovative solutions, business results, and lasting relationships.
Optimizing Design
By ‘optimizing design,’ we will reduce our product’s environmental and social impacts. This objective commits us to use more renewable materials, taking every opportunity to make our solutions recyclable and engaging with our direct suppliers on sustainable business practices. By rethinking our products, supply chain relationships, and customer needs, we are dramatically increasing our productivity, reducing costs, fostering development and market innovation, and providing customers with more value at a lower environmental impact.
