internationally recognized certification process for bio-based and
circular (recycled) resins, which audits the supply chain from
end-to-end.
Pactiv Evergreen’s manufacturing facilities
in Bridgeview, IL; Mooresville, SC; Corsicana, TX; and
Malvern, AR received the certificate from SCS Global Services.

Pactiv Evergreen aims to achieve ISCC PLUS certification at
additional manufacturing facilities this year to provide customers

Evergreen's Foodservice business unit. "Our broad material
expertise enables us to support our customers quickly and
effectively as they seek more sustainable products. Our ISCC PLUS
certification allows Pactiv Evergreen to provide our customers
products made from certified bio-based and circular plastics.”
ISCC PLUS Designation RequirementsTo achieve
the ISCC PLUS designation, manufacturing facilities must produce
materials that meet the ISCC’s rigorous standards for recycled,
renewable, or recycled-renewable materials, and provide
traceability along the supply chain, while meeting ISCC’s high
environmental and social standards. This certification assures
Pactiv Evergreen’s customers of products’ material composition,
which helps them to achieve their packaging sustainability goals.
With the ISCC PLUS certification, Pactiv Evergreen can produce
products substituting a percentage or 100% of the virgin resin with
certified circular polymers, delivering material performance that
is identical to virgin feedstock.

endeavor to have a positive impact on the environment," said Lynn

committed to our Company's Purpose of 'Packaging a Better Future'

positions Pactiv Evergreen to make additional progress toward our
goal that by 2030, 100% of our products will be made with recycled,
recyclable or renewable materials."
