Through the efforts of our engineering and technical experts, Dart continues to achieve significant breakthroughs in environmental stewardship. Our efforts have paid off through delivering substantial reductions in Dart’s carbon footprint. Even more exciting innovations now are being researched and developed.
We are aggressively researching the potential of closing the loop on foam recycling efforts by using post-consumer recycled material in several of our products. We will further cut energy usage by entirely eliminating an energy-intensive step in the making of one of our fastest-growing and most popular lines of cup lids. We are investigating means to make more extensive use of landfill gas as a source of energy. We are intensively researching the use of biopolymers as the raw materials for many of our products.
Dart’s drive for efficiency fosters the creativity that generates these innovations. Sustainability, stewardship, and reducing our carbon footprint are new means of expressing a deep-rooted ethic at Dart. Tomorrow’s environmental breakthroughs will flow from this same disciplined approach.
