The certification enables Sonoco to provide its customers with verifiable materials that contribute to sustainability goals and support the growth of recycling infrastructure. 

Sonoco technology and marketing vice-president Laura Buen Abad said: “As a Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) chain of custody certified facility, the Morristown operations bring extensive knowledge for validating source materials.  

“Achieving ISCC PLUS certification within our EnviroFlex Recycled Content portfolio showcases our commitment to bringing circularity to flexible packaging.”
