Pactiv Evergreen Inc. (“Pactiv Evergreen” or the “Company”) today reported results for the second quarter of 2024. Michael King, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pactiv Evergreen, said, “This past quarter marked a significant milestone in our transformational journey as we announced an agreement to sell our Pine Bluff mill and Waynesville extrusion facility to Suzano. This is a great outcome for Pactiv Evergreen and upon closing of the transaction, we will exit our final remaining mill, allowing us to focus on our core North American converting operations. Our second quarter results were below our expectations, largely driven by two factors. First, in our previous quarterly earnings announcement we highlighted the end-market related risks to our second quarter and full year results, which were predicated on an improvement in fundamentals and consumer demand. As we close a challenging first half of the year, some of the risks we underscored have begun to materialize. We experienced a lower-than-expected sequential uplift in sales volumes, which we believe was caused by further erosion in consumers’ ability to absorb the multi-year impact of elevated inflation. Second, we experienced temporary operational disruptions at our Pine Bluff mill following the planned outage in April. While we were able to identify and resolve the issues quickly, higher-than-expected operating costs and reduced production at the mill during the second quarter impacted results. In response to the current market environment, we are taking action to reduce overhead costs through targeted headcount reductions and curtailing spend. We remain optimistic in our ability to drive operational improvements through the remainder of the year.”

Defining the message for recyclable packaging and reusable alternatives

What does it take to persuade consumers to choose your product over similar products on store shelves? One key factor is understanding consumers’ non-negotiable packaging priorities, such as hygiene, convenience, and sustainability. When introducing new reusable packaging or recyclable fiber-based solutions, conveying the right message about the package is vital to overcoming these obstacles getting your product chosen. Consumers are open to reuse systems. We recently conducted a survey of European consumers and found that 77% hold a positive view of reusable packaging; however, only 30% have a clear understanding of what reusable packaging means. This highlights the first challenge for brand owners: how to efficiently explain to consumers how the reuse system works while also addressing their priorities. Consumers rightly prioritize their health, questioning the hygiene and safety of reusable containers, particularly in the cases of food. Our survey showed that 78% of consumers raise this issue, making it one of the most common obstacles to adoption.
