Absolut Comeback Limited Edition made from recycled glass

Absolut has been committed to sustainable production methods for many years; and we are excited to be celebrating this and specifically our recycling efforts in the form of a bottle launch for the very first time. We believe that a glass bottle must have a second life; the new limited edition bottle is a pure manifestation of this belief.

With the launch of its latest limited edition bottle, Absolut hopes to encourage recycling and a more circular lifestyle that has less impact on our planet. The new bottle is made with more than 41% recycled glass, just like all Absolut’s bottles.

Zero landfill waste at the Siemens location in Newcastle

The Zero Waste to Landfill initiative, which has been running since 2013 and aims to prevent future landfill waste, launched a sustainable and environmentally-friendly disposal process at Newcastle. As a result, the site has created a flagship project for the environmental program Serve the Environment. Today the Siemens location in Newcastle is proud to announce that 99.7 percent of all waste is recycled. In the wake of the successful reduction of waste and related costs, motivation and awareness of recycling in Newcastle were noticeably stronger – employees are proud of their contribution to "Zero Waste to landfill".

Reducing carbon emissions across Mastercard

At Mastercard, our first priority is continuously improving the environmental footprint of our offices and operations. The next step is ensuring our electronic payment solutions are built on a sustainable foundation by increasing the energy efficiency and by investing in renewable resources. By the end of 2018, Mastercard had reduced our emissions by 42% from 2016. We source renewable energy for 100% of our global operations, and we are committed to maintaining this goal. In 2018, our on-site solar arrays generated 1,725,808 kilowatt-hours of renewable energy, or 9.6% of the electricity consumed, and 79% of our owned and operated facilities’ total square footage is either green-building certified or located in a building that achieved green certification in that area of the world.

Lego is producing plant-based plastic sets

In 2018, we started making a range of sustainable LEGO elements from sugarcane to create polyethylene, a soft, durable and flexible plastic. Sugarcane grows at the same rate as we use it, is sourced sustainably using guidance from our partner WWF and doesn’t compromise food security . Because we want our products to be durable and safe for generations of children, this plant-based plastic is not biodegradable. More than 80 LEGO elements are made from sustainably sourced polyethylene. Although these represent just 2% of the 3,600 elements available for designers, it is the first important step out of many on the journey towards using sustainable materials by 2030.
