Eastman’s Commitment to Sustainability: Tackling Plastic Waste and Reducing Carbon Footprint

At Eastman, sustainability is imperative, not optional. We are dedicated to enhancing our planet and invite you to see our efforts here.
 
We take pride in crafting high-quality materials that consumers trust. For over a century, we have consistently strived to meet and exceed global customer expectations. However, with the escalating threat of climate change, we recognized the need for greater action.
 
Leveraging our decades of expertise, we are tackling the plastic waste crisis by transforming it into new products, creating a continuous cycle of reuse. This approach allows us to reduce our carbon footprint by 20%–30% compared to using raw fossil feedstock and prevents plastic waste from harming our ecosystems. By 2030, our goal is to recycle over 50 million pounds of plastic waste.
 
Our dedication extends beyond our own efforts. We are actively collaborating with other organizations to address the plastic waste challenge and promote a more sustainable future for all. At Eastman, we envision “A Better Circle” — a better world for everyone.
