ALPLA has two important goals
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has officially validated the ALPLA Group's near-term climate targets. Specifically, ALPLA has committed to reduce absolute Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions resulting from ALPLA's energy consumption by 42 percent by 2030 compared to the base year 2021. In addition, Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions resulting from purchased goods and services and from the processing of sold products are to be reduced by 51.6 percent per ton of purchased raw materials over the same period.
Six main measures
To this end, ALPLA has defined six main measures that will support the achievement of the targets by 2030. These are energy efficiency (1) and switching to renewable electricity in cooperation with customers (2). Switching to PCR raw materials (3) and increasing our own recycling activities and other initiatives in line with the circular economy (4). In addition to expanding PET and HDPE recycling capacity, this includes efforts in the areas of lightweighting, design for recycling and reusable or bio-based solutions. Another key aspect is the proactive exchange with key suppliers (5), which started in 2024 to drive forward their sustainability journey, as well as active dialogue with customers who share the same sustainability values (6).
