Diversey transitions to PCR Plastic for 5L Canisters, Cutting Virgin Plastic Production by 1.2 Million Kilograms Annually

Diversey, a Solenis company is reinforcing its commitment to sustainability by replacing all1 its 5L canisters in its European factories to Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) plastic in 2025. This initiative is a testament to the company’s ESG+C® formula for sustainability success, underscoring its dedication to delivering innovative solutions that drive positive environmental impact.

Diversey’s transition to PCR plastic will cut CO2 emissions by an impressive 35% across its 5L canisters every year. This reduction is equivalent to:
*Greenhouse gas emissions from 628 petrol-powered cars driven for a year
*The energy required to charge 217,545,166 smartphones
*Carbon sequestered by 44,493 tree seedlings grown for ten years

“At Diversey, we recognize our responsibility to drive sustainability in packaging solutions. Replacing our 5L canisters to PCR plastic is a crucial step in reducing our carbon footprint and limiting our reliance on virgin plastic,” said Daniel Daggett, vice president, sustainability.
