Some outstanding projects and results related to sustainable packaging at 3M of Brazil are:  

PVC Free packaging by 2025: since 2020, 3M Brazil has eliminated 68% of this packaging from its portfolio and is maintaining an accelerated pace of development and innovation in order to reach this target.

Recycled rigid plastic: in 2021, the company launched its first 100% recycled HDPE rigid plastic (PCR) packaging on the Brazilian automotive market. This PCR is produced by automatically sorting bottle scrap into bales and flakes to obtain granulated post-consumer resins.

Mono materials and cellulose: with regard to flexible plastics, the company has been working with its suppliers to develop packaging made up of mono material and with recycled content (5-30% PCR), as well as cellulose-based film solutions, reducing dependence on the use of virgin fossil-based plastic.

Efficient packaging: replacing physical Instruction Manuals with QRCode automation for products aimed at the dental industry. As a result, it is estimated that packaging material will be reduced by 1.2 tons per year and productivity will increase.

Re-engineering the pallet box for export: the application of new technologies in re-engineering resulted in a project that made it possible to reduce the use of wood by more than 58 tons per year, replacing it with high-performance corrugated materials.
