Aptar’s Commitment to Sustainable Products and Packaging

Aptar, a global leader in dispensing solutions for various industries including beauty, personal care, home care, food, and beverage, emphasizes sustainability as a core element of its product design and business strategy. Recognizing growing concerns about the environmental impacts of nonrenewable resources and plastic waste, Aptar has embedded sustainability into its innovation, operations, and partnerships.

Sustainability Vision and Approach

Aptar defines sustainability in packaging through the lens of a circular economy, focusing on three key principles:

• Eliminate: Removing unnecessary packaging components to reduce waste.
• Circulate: Keeping used plastics and packaging materials in the economic cycle through recycling.
• Innovate: Developing packaging solutions designed to be safely reused, recycled, or composted.

The company is dedicated to designing products and processes with both people and the planet in mind.

Strategic Goals and Industry Leadership

• 100% Recyclable Packaging Vision: Aptar advocates for all plastic packaging to be recycled and supports customers striving for packaging that is 100% recyclable or reusable by 2025.
• Recycled Content Targets: By 2025, Aptar aims to incorporate 10% recycled content into its dispensing solutions. This target is evolving as the company navigates regulatory requirements and seeks new sustainable materials, including post-consumer resins and food-contact certified recycled resins.
• Sustainability Certification: Aptar secured the ISCC Plus certification in 2021 for 10 European manufacturing sites. This certification verifies traceability and sustainability claims around recycled content, underscoring Aptar’s commitment to transparent and credible sustainability practices.
