Furthermore, CCBS has made significant progress in sustainable packaging, with 83% of materials sourced from renewable origins and 46% from recycled content, increasing the use of rPET in its products. The company’s commitment to social responsibility is also reflected in its impeccable safety record, with zero workplace accidents and no regulatory breaches, testament to a strong culture of safety and integrity.
