Multi-Color Corporation is fully committed to providing your brand with sustainable label solutions. MCC has signed the New Plastics Economy Global Commitment Statement on October 7, 2019.  

Fully Committed 

The New Plastics Economy Global Commitment Statement includes goals about the actions that signatory companies will take to drive toward a circular economy. These approaches include redesign to eliminate problematic and unnecessary plastic as well as innovation to ensure that plastic is reusable, recyclable, or compostable. There have been more than 450 signatories who are all working collaboratively to support these objectives. MCC is, so far, the only label company that has signed the Global Commitment. 

Ellen MacArthur Foundation 

The New Plastics Economy initiative is associated with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation which focuses on creating momentum towards a plastics system that works. Applying the principles of the circular economy, The New Plastics Economy initiative brings together key stakeholders to rethink and redesign the future of plastics, starting with packaging.  

MCC will help achieve a global circular economy through our Global Commitment Statement. 

We are pleased MCC is joining us, by setting concrete 2025 targets. Our vision is for a world where plastic never becomes waste or pollution. It will be a challenging journey, but by coming together we can eliminate the plastics we don’t need and innovate, so the plastics we do need can be safely and easily circulated – keeping them in the economy and out of the environment.  – Sander Defruyt, Lead of the New Plastics Economy initiative at Ellen MacArthur Foundation
