Net Zero Emissions for U.S. Packager

Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Meyers, a leader in sustainable packaging solutions, proudly announces the successful completion of its first year achieving net zero emissions for operational carbon output. This milestone underscores Meyers’ commitment to sustainability, setting a benchmark for the packaging industry and delivering value to environmentally conscious clients.

Achieving net zero emissions reflects Meyers’ unwavering dedication to creating eco-friendly packaging solutions for brands in the beauty, wellness, retail, and food & beverage industries. Through initiatives such as reducing energy consumption, transitioning to renewable energy sources, and incorporating sustainable materials, Meyers continues to minimize its environmental footprint.

“Our mission at Meyers extends beyond creating exceptional products— we aim to protect the planet and support a sustainable future,” said Christopher Dillon, CEO of Meyers. “Achieving net zero in our operations is a significant milestone, and we are committed to building on this progress as we move forward.”

Meyers’ sustainability efforts include a Phase 1 solar array, featuring 128 roof-mounted panels that generate approximately 58,000 kWh of clean energy annually, reducing CO2 emissions by nearly 90,000 pounds each year. The company’s zero waste-to-landfill status demonstrates its innovative approach to waste management, combining recycling and waste-to-energy initiatives. In 2023, these initiatives diverted 3,095 cubic yards of waste from landfills, preventing over 3,000 tons of CO2 emissions, conserving 5.7 million gallons of water, and saving nearly 14,000 trees.

To further support its clients’ sustainability goals, Meyers offers a diverse range of eco-friendly packaging materials, including FSC- and SFI-certified options, recycled content, unbleached paper, and labels made from renewable sources. These efforts not only help brands reduce their environmental impact but also contribute to a broader circular economy.

“As a sustainability leader, we’re proud to partner with some of the world’s most recognized brands to drive meaningful progress toward sustainability,” Dillon added. “By achieving carbon neutrality in our operations, we’re paving the way for a greener, more sustainable future.”

Meyers has been recognized for its sustainability leadership and people-first approach. The company achieved 100% carbon-free electricity across its operations by the end of 2021 and remains on track to fulfill its broader carbon neutrality goals.
