Greenhouse Gas Emissions

A business model designed to reduce emissions


At Logoplaste, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is embedded in the way we operate. Our wall-to-wall manufacturing model significantly cuts CO₂ emissions by eliminating or minimizing the transportation of empty bottles.

In 2024, 67% of our production sites were located within or adjacent to our customers’ facilities. This allowed us to avoid the release of 15,977 tons of CO₂, marking a 2% increase from 2023 (15,267 tons CO₂ avoided).

By design, our model delivers environmental efficiency, helping Logoplaste reduce Scope 3 transport-related emissions while supporting customer sustainability targets.

SBTi Commitment: setting a clear path to net-zero


We are proud to share that our targets have been formally approved by the SBTi.

SBTi helps companies align their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction strategies with the latest climate science, specifically the goals of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

Our approved targets reflect this commitment and include both near-term and long-term goals:

Operational CO2e emissions

  • By 2030 we will target a reduction of 45.3% of our Operational CO2e emissions (scope 1+2 emissions) when comparing to base year 2020
  • By 2050 we will target a reduction of 90% of our Operational CO2e emissions (scope 1+2 emissions) when comparing to base year 2020

Scope 3 emissions

  • By 2030 we will target a reduction of 51.6% reduction of Scope 3 emissions / production when comparing to base year 2022
  • By 2050 we will target a reduction of 97% reduction of Scope 3 emissions / production when comparing to base year 2022

We recognize that achieving net-zero emissions is a complex and evolving journey, one that requires persistence, innovation, and collaboration. While not all the solutions are available today, we are firmly committed to continuous progress and taking meaningful action now.

Some initiatives are already underway:

  • Transition to 100% renewable energy across all plants where energy is sourced: This is a key focus area for reducing our Scope 2 emissions and ensuring that our operations are powered by clean, low-impact sources.
  • Maximizing the use of recycled content in our products: This reduces demand for virgin materials and supports a more circular economy.

Our medium-term targets are:

  • 30% recycled content by 2025
  • 51% recycled content by 2030

We understand that the path to net-zero is not linear, and while we may not yet have all the answers, we are confident in our direction. We will continue to explore and implement innovative solutions, adopt emerging technologies, and engage with partners across our value chain to accelerate our decarbonization efforts.

Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions

Logoplaste’s Operational GHG emissions

Scope 1 GHG emissions are direct emissions from the use of fossil fuels within Logoplaste, plus fugitive emissions (resulting from refrigerant gases leaks).

 

Scope 2 GHG emissions are indirect emissions from the purchase of electricity for Logoplaste sites and offices.

Absolute Emissions

In 2024, Logoplaste’s total Scope 1 and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions, representing our operational CO₂e footprint, amounted to 76 829 tons of CO₂e.

This shows a 14% reduction compared to 2023, and a 40% reduction relative to our Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) baseline year, 2020.

The significant decrease in absolute emissions was primarily driven by the increased use of renewable electricity, leading to a substantial reduction in Scope 2 emissions.

Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions

Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions cover indirect emissions resulting from Logoplaste’s value chain activities

Logoplaste’s scope 3 emissions are greater than Logoplaste’s operational GHG emissions.

Logoplaste’s largest category of Scope 3 GHG emissions is category 1, purchased goods and services, more precisely the purchase of raw materials used to produce packaging.

As the majority of our GHG emissions result from the purchase of raw materials, resin choice; increasing incorporation of recycled content; evaluation of alternative recycled resins and bioplastics; and product design and lightweight programs, all of these play a significant role in Logoplaste’s strategy to reduce our corporate carbon footprint.
