In the News: Why SC Johnson's CEO, Fisk Johnson, Supports Stronger Rules to Reduce Plastic Waste
Newsweek profiled why SC Johnson supports stronger, consistent rules to reduce plastic waste, including extended producer responsibility (EPR). The article highlights the SC Johnson Chairman and CEO, Fisk Johnson, and the business case for common standards that improve packaging design, recycling and circularity at scale.
For generations, SC Johnson has worked to make everyday life better for families while protecting the planet we all share. Today, that means tackling one of the biggest environmental challenges of our time: plastic waste. We’ve already met our 2025 goal to use 25% recycled plastic in our packaging and reduced our use of new, or “virgin,” plastic by a third. But we’re not stopping there. From creating refill and reuse options to supporting smarter recycling systems around the world, we’re committed to finding solutions that make a real difference because a cleaner, healthier world is something we all deserve.
“Plastic is emerging as a planetary, animal and human health issue, and we want to solve it. We want to be part of the solution, not the problem.”
— Fisk Johnson, Chairman and CEO, SC Johnson
