S-One’s management of the HP global media program is pushing our product development and manufacturing partners to reach sustainability targets,” Doug says. “Our goal is to create sustainable options that offer the same or better performance.”

While S-One has made significant strides in sustainability through products like ReEarth films, its broader impact is rooted in its commitment to creating a circular economy. This initiative isn’t limited to product development—it extends into global partnerships that promote sustainability across industries. By working closely with leading organizations and research institutes, S-One has positioned itself as a key player in reshaping supply chains for a more sustainable future.

One of the most significant areas of growth has been in compostable packaging solutions. Through partnerships with companies in food production, personal care, and retail, S-One has introduced sustainable alternatives to traditional plastic packaging. “Sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s a necessity,” says Doug.
“We’re working with global partners to make sure that the solutions we develop can scale to meet the needs of the entire industry.”

These partnerships have also led to the creation of educational initiatives aimed at helping businesses transition to eco-friendly practices. S-One has taken a proactive role in advising customers on the best ways to incorporate compostable materials and renewable resources into their supply chains. By providing both products and expertise, S-One is helping businesses reduce their environmental footprint while maintaining operational efficiency.

S-One’s commitment to sustainability is also reflected in its internal operations. The company has implemented energy-efficient practices across its facilities, using smart systems to monitor and reduce energy consumption. This dedication to sustainability has made S-One a leader not only in products but also in corporate responsibility. “It’s about making sure that we practice what we preach,” Doug explains.

The ripple effect of S-One’s efforts can be seen across its global network. By working with like-minded organizations and pushing for change at the industry level, S-One is contributing to the creation of a circular economy where resources are reused, and waste is minimized. This holistic approach ensures that S-One’s impact isn’t limited to local initiatives but reaches far beyond, driving positive change on a global scale.
