Plastic waste is a pressing issue that affects us all—polluting our oceans, harming wildlife, and damaging our environment.
At Jesons Industries, we’ve set a bold goal: to reduce our plastic waste by 35% by 2030. Yes, it’s ambitious, but we believe it’s achievable if we focus on making meaningful incremental changes.
To reach this target, we’re focusing on three key areas:
- Rethinking our products.
- Transforming our transportation and packaging.
- Creating a greener, more sustainable supply chain.
Rethinking Our Products
As a leader in the specialty chemical manufacturing industry, we take pride in creating reliable, high-quality products like our HDPE barrels. But we know we can do better. That’s why, our first step will be reimagining how we design and manufacture our products.
Lighter, Smarter Design
One of the biggest changes we’re planning to make is reducing the weight of our HDPE barrels.
By making them lighter without sacrificing strength or durability, we can significantly cut down on the amount of plastic used in each one. Sure it sounds like a small change, but when applied on a large scale, it makes a meaningful impact.
Exploring Alternative Materials
Let’s be honest, plastic is quite convenient.
But the future cannot be traded for convenience. Plastic plays its role due to its durability and cost-effectiveness.
However, we’re actively researching materials that are:
- Sustainably—sourced from renewable resources.
- Recyclable—easy to repurpose.
- Biodegradable—capable of decomposing naturally without harming the planet.
Each time we use a more sustainable material, we’re taking a step closer to a cleaner, greener future.
Transforming Transportation and Packaging
Plastic waste isn’t just about the products we make—it’s also about how we move them. We’ve taken a hard look at how we package and transport our goods, and we’re making some big changes.
Optimizing Packaging Materials
We’re also rethinking the materials we use for packaging. By transitioning to lighter, recycled, or biodegradable materials, we’re reducing the environmental impact of our operations.
These adjustments are part of our broader mission to operate smarter and greener.
Creating a Greener Supply Chain
Sustainability isn’t just about what we do—it’s about how we collaborate with others. Reducing plastic waste means rethinking the entire supply chain.
Partnering with Like-Minded Suppliers
We’re working closely with our suppliers to ensure they share our commitment to sustainability.
This involves sourcing more eco-friendly materials and encouraging all parties in our supply chain to adopt waste-reducing practices.
By collaborating with our partners, we’re building a network that’s better for the planet.
Investing in Eco-Friendly Innovations
We’re exploring cutting-edge solutions to make our supply chain greener. For example:
- Developing eco-friendly adhesive solutions that minimize environmental impact.
- Creating sustainable coatings and adhesives that reduce the footprint of our products.
These innovations help us lead by example in the chemical industry and inspire others to adopt sustainable practices.
Driving Innovation Through Collaboration
We know that achieving our goals requires constant innovation. That’s why our research and development team plays such a critical role in our journey.
They’re always testing new ideas, exploring greener materials, and finding better product manufacturing methods.
Working Together for Greater Impact
Let’s face it, we can’t solve the plastic waste problem alone. That’s why we’re collaborating with other like-minded businesses to share ideas and amplify our collective impact.
By working together, we can create solutions that benefit everyone.
Staying Transparent and Accountable
We believe in being open about our sustainability efforts. Our customers and stakeholders deserve to know how we’re working to reduce our environmental footprint.
Transparency keeps us accountable and ensures we stay on track to meet our goals.
This isn’t just about hitting a target; it’s about doing the right thing for future generations.
Looking Ahead
Reducing plastic waste by 35% by 2030 is just the beginning for us. Sustainability isn’t a one-time initiative—it’s a shift in how we think, operate, and innovate.
Our Long-Term Vision
We’re envisioning a future where:
- Every product we create has a minimal environmental footprint.
- Our operations and supply chain generate zero waste.
- Collaboration drives transformative change across industries.
By staying focused on sustainability in ginnovation, we’re confident that we can create a cleaner, greener future for everyone.
