At TT Gaskets, we believe every step toward sustainability matters and that includes how we deliver our products. With packaging identified as one of our biggest environmental impact areas, especially due to the use of plastic, we knew change was needed.
That’s why we launched our Green Delivery initiative a targeted effort to reduce plastic in our packaging materials and transition to smarter, more sustainable alternatives.
This year’s World Environment Day centers on the urgent issue of plastic pollution. For us, it’s a timely opportunity to highlight one of our clearest success stories and to reaffirm our long-term commitment to change.
At TTG, one of the biggest environmental impacts relates to the use of plastic in packaging materials, and we’ve been actively working to reduce this through our Green Delivery initiative. One clear success is our shift from plastic tapes and labels to paper-based alternatives:
In 2024, our consumption of plastic tapes and labels was 81% lower than in 2022, thanks to this transition.
As a result:
On top of that, we’ve increased our use of paper-based tapes and labels by 200%, replacing plastics with recyclable, more environmentally friendly materials.
These results are not just encouraging — they show what focused action and cross-team collaboration can achieve. And they prove that even everyday materials like packaging tapes can make a measurable difference in sustainability.
Plastic pollution remains one of the most pressing global challenges. It’s persistent, difficult to recycle, and widely used across industries, including manufacturing and logistics. For us, that means we have both a responsibility and an opportunity to lead by example.
Our Green Delivery initiative is helping to reduce waste, emissions, and reliance on virgin plastic — while making our packaging easier to recycle for our customers.
Reducing plastic in tapes and stickers is just one piece of a much bigger picture. We’re now turning our attention to other packaging components, exploring low-emission logistics, and continuing to identify ways to improve our overall environmental performance.
Stay tuned for more actions as we continue to rethink, reduce, and improve, one delivery at a time.
