US-based canmaker and packaging manufacturer Sonoco has achieved accreditation from the Pet Sustainability Coalition (PSC) for its sustainable packaging designs.
The accreditation is awarded to companies demonstrating tangible progress in environmental stewardship, social responsibility and transparent reporting.
Sonoco manufactures two- and three-piece steel cans for industries including the pet food sector that offer durability, moisture protection and full recyclability.
In addition, through the Sonoco Foundation (now known as Sonoco in Action), the company has partnered with the Darlington County Humane Society to reshape the trajectory of animal welfare and education in Hartsville, South Carolina, where Sonoco is based.
“As a packaging provider with more than a century of experience, we see the pet sector as a powerful opportunity to apply our sustainability expertise where it matters most—to people, pets and the planet,” said Scott Byrne, Sonoco’s vice president of global sustainability. “This recognition validates the work we’re doing to offer scalable, circular solutions that deliver on both performance and environmental responsibility.”
