Ansell's Path to Net Zero

ANSELL AIMS FOR NET ZERO
 

Ansell's Action Plans Include:

Obtaining 100% of their energy from renewable energy sources

Like wind, solar and hydropower (they’re currently sitting at 31%). This will substantially lower their greenhouse gas emissions, improve operational efficiency as many renewable  technologies require less maintenance, and produce fewer harmful byproducts than burning fossil fuels.

 

Implementing Energy Management Systems

Ansell have rolled out energy management systems in 4 manufacturing plants (ISO 50001:2018 Energy Management System) and will continue to roll this system out to all 14 manufacturing plants to ensure energy efficiency and reduce waste.

 

Eliminating landfill waste from production

Ansell diverts 99.8% of their waste from landfills - with 65% reused or recycled - across 12 manufacturing plants as Zero Waste to Landfill certified by Intertek.

 

Designing products with sustainability in mind

Using a proportion of recycled and bio-based materials depending on product. Currently, 60% of new products are designed with reduced environmental impact, and the business is aiming for 80%. 

 

Reducing waste in packaging

The outer and inner dispenser of their packaging is now recyclable for 97% of their industrial product and 100% of their healthcare product.

 

Protecting Natural Resources

By reducing water withdrawal.

Renewable Futures: Ansell Aims for Net Zero

Carbon emissions have become a hot topic in the last few decades. According to CSIRO, about 90% of the world’s carbon emissions comes from the burning of fossil fuels – mainly for electricity, heat and transport.*

Through collaboration with our supply partners, we work towards a more circular economy — seeking innovative manufacturing and product solutions.
