Using Less
and Doing More

About to toss that empty can of Glade® air freshener in the recycling bin? Good! Because steel can recycling is now available in more than 5,600 communities in the United States and a growing number of communities in other countries.

In the 1990s, SC Johnson helped lead a recycling coalition for North America, causing communities to recapture more than five billion pounds of waste cans and aerosol containers.

Inside our walls, we focus on eco-efficiency too. As an example, SC Johnson recently joined the American Plastics Council and the Society of the Plastics Industry in "Operation Clean Sweep," an effort to properly contain and dispose of resin pellets.

In the United States, we also use 95% recycled corrugate shipping containers and incorporate recycled resins into many of our plastic bottles. We also recycle 93% of all solid waste from manufacturing including paper, corrugate, plastic, glass and steel materials.
