Sonoco Products Company (“Sonoco” or the “Company”) (NYSE:SON), one
of the largest global sustainable packaging companies, is pleased
to announce that Sonoco Flexible Packaging has received ISCC PLUS
certification from the International Sustainability and Carbon

resin sourcing practices at Sonoco’s Morristown, Tennessee
facility. With this certification, Sonoco continues to build
credibility as the market leader in high performing laminations
containing recycled materials.
The ISCC PLUS certification is a voluntary commitment to
increase transparency and to ensure the traceability of recycled
material throughout the entire supply chain via mass balance. With
this certification, Sonoco can provide customers with verifiable
materials that contribute to the circular economy, help them meet
sustainability commitments, and more broadly support expansion of
the recycling infrastructure.
The EnviroFlex Recycled Content line of packaging is a portfolio
of custom oxygen, moisture and grease barriers, ideal for a broad
range of applications. This line is intended to bring circular
practices to flexible packaging while maintaining the highest level
of performance and machinability.
“As a Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) chain of custody
certified facility, the Morristown operations bring extensive
knowledge for validating source materials,” said Laura Buen Abad,
Vice President of Technology and Marketing. “Achieving ISCC PLUS
certification within our EnviroFlex Recycled Content portfolio
showcases our commitment to bringing circularity to flexible
packaging.”
EnviroFlex Recycled Content can make a real difference in
reducing virgin plastic uses and promoting circularity. With the
ISCC PLUS designation, this product line will continue expanding
Sonoco’s reach and provide access to innovative packaging solutions
that are linked to circular materials.
