Our Commitment to the Environment

Constar is committed to being an environmentally responsible corporate citizen. We are committed, as part of our World Class Performance management system, to progressively and proactively minimize the impact of our operations on the environment, using methods and innovative technologies that are scientifically based and operationally and economically sound.

For Constar, sustainability is about operating in an environmentally and socially responsible manner that creates value for our shareholders and benefits for society. It is about making fundamental choices about actions that support the quality of life now and in the future. Constar has a rich history of operating in a sustainable manner via programs like glass-to-PET conversions, light-weighting projects, energy-reducing technologies and conservation methods, and increased use of post-consumer recycled content in our containers.

We encourage source-reduction, recycling, and energy and water use programs that promote clean air and water, conserve scarce resources, and reduce landfill wastes. We consider environmental impacts in our capital budgeting and expenditure programs and in daily operations. We seek out advice from industry leaders on the evolving best practices in sustainable solutions to the environmental aspects of our business.

Constar’s sustainability programs are quantitative, with measurements and audits, using wherever practical, those measures common to our suppliers and customers through the chain of commerce.
