Converting to Sealed Air helps company use more recycled content in packaging materials
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sealed Air (NYSE:SEE) is helping Best Buy (NYSE:BBY) through the introduction of packaging solutions that allow the company to use more recycled packaging content for shipping Best Buy products to consumers across North America. Best Buy, the electronics, computer, appliances and technology product retailer, is taking meaningful action by using packaging that not only preserves the value of their products, but also supports the circular economy through use of packaging containing recycled content.
Through this partnership, Sealed Air's packaging experts worked with Best Buy to provide them with a corresponding suite of products that helped them reduce the amount of virgin plastic used in packaging.
"Making sustainability progress cannot be done alone, and an opportunity like this to help Best Buy improve the packaging they use to ship products every day is a great example of the work we are doing at Sealed Air to solve our customers' critical packaging challenges," said Tiffani Burt, Ph.D., Sealed Air's VP of Materials Innovation. "Best Buy's championing of recycled-content solutions is allowing them to make great strides in their work to reduce virgin plastic in their shipping."
The Sealed Air packaging solutions now used by Best Buy include:
"We're always looking for new ways to reduce our impact on the environment and as part of that work we are also looking at how to make our packaging more sustainable," said Tim Dunn, Best Buy's head of environmental sustainability. "The partnership with Sealed Air has helped us further weave the circular economy into our supply chain, which has helped us reduce waste through recycling and provide packaging containing recycled content for our customers."
In addition to the packaging solutions introduced to Best Buy, Sealed Air also worked with the company to arrange collection of plastic waste from Best Buy distribution centers to have it recycled.
