Symrise's sustainability strategy plans to reduce its carbon footprint by decreasing its waste production and integrating reusable metals and recycled products for packaging. Symrise has also implemented replacing its plastics bags for paper ones and using large barrels instead of small canisters when transporting items.
“We are constantly looking for possibilities to improve our carbon footprint,” said Björn Kumlehn, director technical purchasing at Symrise.
