The pulp and paper sector has already decoupled growth and CO2 emissions for several decades, but it remains energy-intensive. To go even further in its commitment to climate change mitigation it bets on breakthroughs in an array of technologies, which could reduce the sector’s energy needs by as much as 80%, and on a formidable potential to install renewable energy directly on-site. A recent acceleration in progress have been spurred by unprecedented collaboration amongst industry actors.

A new report from the Alliance of CEO Climate Leaders calls on businesses and governments to further slash carbon emissions to meet the Paris Climate Agreement goals.

Global Emissions are currently rising by 1.5% per year, they must fall by 7% every year to 2030 to keep 1.5 alive.
The State of Climate Action says collaboration and ‘dramatic action’ is needed to achieve net-zero national and corporate commitments and ensure a just transition.
The Alliance also highlights in an open letter policies and actions needed to bring about emissions cuts, including the phase-out of fossil fuels and scale-up of renewable energy.

Haleon named founding member of the Blister Pack Collective which aims to reduce plastic usage and drive circularity for tablet blister packaging

PA Consulting (PA), the company bringing ingenuity to life, and PulPac, the Swedish R&D and IP company behind Dry Molded Fiber (DMF), are pleased to announce that global consumer health company Haleon has joined its Blister Pack Collective as a founding member.

PA and PulPac created the Blister Pack Collective to limit the use of non-recyclable plastics in over-the-counter and prescription drug packaging through cross-industry collaboration. It brings together pharma, consumer health, and FMCG businesses to accelerate progress towards a world of more sustainable tablet packs, free from problem plastics like polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

PA and PulPac seeded the collective and developed the underlying technology for the blister packs after an early initiative driven by Haleon. This has brought a functioning Dry Molded Fiber tablet blister pack to life. The adoption of Dry Molded Fiber tablet packs could help remove 100,000 tonnes of plastic medicine packaging used every year.

Dry Molded Fiber technology minimises CO₂ emissions – leaving a 90 percent lower CO₂ footprint than Wet Molded alternatives – and requires minimal water usage. It enables the production of versatile tablet packs that are comparable to PVC packs in terms of design and tablet count.

People hate it when their power goes out. Which is why PA Consulting’s ReliabilityOne® program is committed to working with US utilities to improve power grid reliability. On average, ReliabilityOne® program participant utilities had 55 percent fewer sustained power outages, and their customers’ outages were 70 percent shorter than the average US investor-owned utility.

Leading environmental compliance data specialists Ecoveritas has partnered with the Friends of Glenan Woods to support the preservation of the Glenan Temperate Rainforest. Ecoveritas is putting the money it would spend in offsetting its annual CO2e emissions to support a nature-based solution.
