“We continue to make progress and aim to strengthen how we design our products to support a healthier planet, recognising the connection that has with the health of all of us.”
We are focussed on circularity and design our products with that in mind. We see renewable carbon as key to progress on circularity. With our suppliers, we are identifying opportunities for renewable carbon. Many of these technologies are in different stages of development and commercial readiness. They may need to be validated to allow them to contribute in a meaningful and impactful way. We know the transition from fossil-based feedstock is complex and different solutions are required to become carbon neutral. To navigate this transition, we believe we that collaboration connecting suppliers and end-users, can create a framework that supports faster adoption. We look forward to collaborating and contributing in support of circular design as well as learning from others to further strengthen and accelerate our own efforts. We are hopeful that increased collaboration through the RCI, between industry supply-chains and civil society, can enable this system change and unlock the potential of renewable carbon feedstocks.
