At KSI, we are committed to having sustainability be a part of our day-to-day practices. From integrating renewable energy solutions to instituting a company-wide recycling program, we're dedicated to protecting our environment while driving innovation. Earlier this week we asked you all what you do in your daily lives and here are the results! 33% said you recycle plastics, papers, metals, etc. 33% of you said you use a reusable cup and straw 17% said you conserve energy 17% of you use sustainable transportation #SustainableBusiness #SustainabilityAtKSI #RenewableEnergy #EnvironmentProtection #InnovationDriven #ReduceReuseRecycle #ConservingEnergy #SustainableTransportation
In addition to being recyclable, easy to make from renewable resources, and low in waste, did you know that corrugated packaging is also incredibly energy-efficient to produce? Because it’s not always made from “virgin” materials, and can often be re-made from recycled products, there's a sizable dent in energy consumption for production. Plus, many companies – including FGS – source materials locally, which cuts down on required transport emissions. Keeping sustainability in mind? Let FGS set you up with the perfect corrugated packaging solutions for your unique needs. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gTi8DHu #Corrugated #Sustainability #EnergyEfficient #Packaging #Cartons

We’re excited to share our CTO’s Fred Pinczuk latest article, 'An Exercise in Greenwashing,' published in the "Bioplastics" magazine! 🌿 Dive into the deceptive practices that mask true sustainability efforts. Amidst the sea of green icons and eco-friendly slogans, the reality of plastic usage contrasts starkly with the promises of recycling as the ultimate solution. In the article, Fred explores how states like California are making strides with legislation such as SB54, while the petrochemical industry and consumer goods giants resist mandates that could impact their profits. Despite the fervor for recycling, plastic consumption continues to outpace recycling efforts, revealing the need for genuine, sustainable solutions that align with consumer preferences.
