Our Commitment to Sustainability
CCL Healthcare, part of CCL Industries, is committed to preserving the environment and investing in a sustainable future. As part of a global corporation, we have formulated a joint mission statement supporting our goals of delivering sustainable pharmaceutical packaging while always prioritizing patient well-being and minimizing costs.
“CCL will limit industrial waste ending up in the environment or in landfills by implementing waste reduction strategies. We are setting goals of cutting today’s level of waste to landfill by 90% globally by 2025”.
Clean Manufacturing & Energy Reduction
CCL Healthcare is investing in resource-saving technologies and waste-reducing processes at our facilities worldwide. By focusing on engineering with more efficient manufacturing, we can offer our customers the best solutions to meet their sustainable medical packaging needs and meet their own pharmaceutical sustainability goals.
Sustainability is about more than just conservation. It also means being responsible corporate citizens while producing quality products. CCL Healthcare takes a holistic approach to consider the impact of products throughout the manufacturing and final product phases. Key parts of this process are working internally with employees and externally with our supply chain partners to create more efficient and environmentally friendly options for our customers. We work hard to decrease the impact of transportation, reduce waste and increase the use of sustainable alternatives within our supply chain.
Being a socially responsible corporation means that CCL Healthcare upholds fair labor practices, maintains safe workplaces and gives back to our employees and the communities in which we operate.
Sustainable Packaging by Design
CCL Healthcare offers our customers a sustainable packaging audit service to evaluate their product lines and recommend changes to align with their sustainability goals. Some of the ways we can assist customers in moving towards their goals of sustainable packaging include providing guidance on:
- Creating an entirely new construction.
- Modifying current constructions.
- Optimizing printing webs and printed sheets.
- Eliminating colors to reduce the number of consumable parts, including toner cartridges required during the printing process.
- Changing adhesives to products free of harmful chemicals.
- Utilizing materials that are friendlier to the recycling process.
Responsibly Sourced Material
Climate change and depletion of resources will affect us all if we are not working collaboratively towards a more sustainable future. Environmental protection has long been a part of our strategic plan, and we have increased our focus on key ecological factors while building a vision for our future. We are proud of the progress that has already been made as we have significantly improved our use of natural resources, but we strive to do more. In our ongoing commitment to reduce our carbon footprint, CCL Healthcare continues to prioritize capital investment, process improvement and supply chain management to make a meaningful impact.
CCL Healthcare Liner Recycling Program
Our liner collect and recycle program is one of the practical sustainability initiatives initiated by CCL Healthcare. This program helps you and the environment by eliminating liner waste. We work closely with our suppliers and customers to reduce our environmental footprint, and this program was designed to contribute to that.
How does it work? It’s easy! You collect the liner waste from your machines when you put the labels on the final product. We collect the combined waste and turn it into a new product. Together, we can eliminate waste and reach our sustainability goals.
Landfill Avoidance
In 2019, CCL Healthcare invested in greenhouse gas tracking software to monitor and report emissions from our global operations. Waste reduction is a priority: diverting waste currently being sent to landfills for recycling and incineration, reducing costs by minimizing waste generation at source and, where viable, reusing or selling manufacturing by-products.
