Commitment to Sustainability at Scotch™ Brand
At Scotch™ Brand, we believe we can all do more with less: finding new and clever ways to bring ideas to life. We want Doers everywhere to thoughtfully create, re-use, repair and protect all while using less. 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 minimizing the use of virgin plastic and our impacts on the environment.

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.
-
Transitioning 100% of our packaging to reusable or recyclable by 2030, with an interim goal of 80% by 2025.
*Scotch™ Brand is part of 3M’s family of consumer brands.
