Science-based technology company 3M has joined the Ellen MacArthur Circular Economy 100 (CE100) Network, a multi-stakeholder platform whose participants are working towards a circular economic model.
“3M is moving to more recycled and renewable materials in our product and package designs, but no one company can do it alone,” says 3M vice president and chief sustainability officer Dr Gayle Schueller. “We are excited to engage with a committed group of leaders focused on innovative approaches to driving a circular economy based on sustainable use and reuse of finite resources.”
CE100 aims to make the best use of the planet’s resources through designing for the prevention of waste, the reuse of products, and the recycling of materials.
3M has this year built a commitment to sustainable innovation into the pipeline that produces its products and technologies. All of 3M’s new products entering the new product commercialisation process are required to describe their product’s sustainability impact and how it drives impact for the greater good.
Among its latest products to promote recycling and reuse of plastic waste is 3M Thinsulate Recycled Featherless Insulation, a featherless down alternative insulation made with 100% recycled plastic waste.
