Scotch™ Brand Commitment to Continued Product and Packaging Material Choices
At Scotch™ Brand, we believe we can all do more with less: finding new and clever ways to bring ideas to life. We help Doers everywhere create, reuse, repair and protect with Scotch™ products designed for everyday projects. Less energy. Less materials. Less time. Less worry. That’s why we are committed to making quality tools that get projects done right the first time, while continuously working to reduce virgin plastic in products and packaging where feasible.

COMMITMENT - Goals To Drive Impact
When we state our intentions, we can be focused on the action steps needed to reach our goals. Even the smallest sustainability improvements can have impact. Here are two significant milestones we’re working towards in the coming years:
-
Scotch™ Brand* is contributing to 3M’s goal to eliminate 125 million pounds of plastic waste by 2025 compared to 2021.
-
By 2030, we aim for 100% of Scotch™ Brand packaging to be reusable or recyclable, where local collection and recycling systems are available.
*Scotch™ Brand is part of 3M’s family of consumer brands.
