Caps & Closures has designed a program for a progressive reduction in energy consumption in our operations, and make a shift from fossil to renewable energy sources. The plan defines many actions toward our goal of minimal energy and greenhouse footprint, including replacing inefficient plant infrastructure and machines with low energy consumption units. These efforts significantly reduced consumption while increasing production capacity.

With 25 April just around the corner, many Australians are considering how they will mark the national day of remembrance. While the annual Anzac Day service may still proceed, the coronavirus restrictions remain strictly in place.

Here are some ways you can join us in commemorating our heroes from the past and the present.
When it comes to packaging, many people dismiss plastics as a harmful, single-use material with no place in our future – however, this doesn’t have to be the case.

We’re kicking off the 2020s with a focus on innovation and environmental leadership – here are the plastic industry’s sustainability goals for the new decade!
