5G also promises to advance sustainability initiatives by improving connectivity so we can better steward and manage the resources required in areas like agriculture, manufacturing, transportation and healthcare," added

Advancing circularity in our operations and our customers’ products

NYSE: POL), a leader in advanced technologies for packaging, today announced that its barrier additives are increasing sustainability and design freedom while extending shelf life and lightweighting options for packaging manufacturers.

Advancement in color-separation technology has helped us tremendously in the past 10 years, but this technology is only effective if the printer uses a predictable and balanced ink set, to which the separations may be calibrated.

In addition, we contributed to numerous non-profit organizations where our leaders sit on boards of trustees, helping them advance sustainability in their operations and missions to serve.
