Environmental Progress: Water, Waste, and Emissions
The company made measurable environmental progress. Global water withdrawal decreased from 1.90 million cubic meters in FY2024 to 1.49 million cubic meters in FY2025, thanks to process efficiency improvements and new water recycling technologies.

Innovation in Sustainable Materials Science
TekniPlex's innovation pipeline delivered several breakthroughs in healthcare and consumer products. In healthcare, the company co-developed advanced tri-layer tubing technology for insulin infusion sets in collaboration with a leading diabetes-care partner, extending wear time from approximately 3 days to up to 7–14 days, reducing material waste and improving patient comfort. Recycle-ready solutions included a PET push-through blister pack for pharmaceuticals and a polystyrene-free pressure seal liner (ProTecSeals ePressSeal liner). In consumer products, TekniPlex partnered with Alpura, a major Mexican dairy producer, to develop a 125g recyclable polypropylene yogurt cup using up to 36% less plastic than comparable formats, paired with an FSC-certified paper label.
