Footprint

Did You Know? Only 9% of all plastic ever produced has been recycled. 🫠 * Plastic consumption has quadrupled over the past 30 years. And nearly 70% of our plastic waste ends up in landfills or nature.   This is exactly why Footprint exists. We’re on a mission to build a more sustainable future 🌎 . At Footprint, our foundation is science, and our fuel is passion. We're not just scientists — we're innovators, engineers, and problem-solvers using patented technology to create plant-based fiber solutions that perform better than plastic, without the pollution. This #PlasticFreeJuly, join us and the movement to ensure a healthier planet for healthier people 🌱 .   #Footprint #PlasticFreeJuly #Sustainability #Innovation #HealthyPlanetHealthyPeople #ChampionsOfChange   *Source: OECD, Global Plastics

This #PlasticFreeJuly, another urgent reminder: even recycled plastic isn't safe. A new study found that recycled plastic can release toxic chemicals that disrupt hormones and metabolism — not just in fish, but in ways that mirror risks to human health 🤯. Researchers warn these plastics have no place in products with direct human exposure, like food packaging, toys, or childcare goods. At Footprint, we are on a mission to build a more sustainable future 🌎 . We're building a safer, healthier planet for healthier people by replacing harmful plastic — recycled or not — with plant-based, fiber alternatives that are safe by design and proven to perform. The future of packaging must protect people and the planet. Nothing less will do 💚 .

This #PlasticFreeJuly, a powerful new study underscores just how urgently we need to move beyond plastic 🤯. Researchers found that simply opening a food package — twisting a bottle cap, unwrapping deli meat, or even steeping a tea bag — can contaminate our food and drinks with micro- and nanoplastics. These invisible plastic particles are turning up everywhere, from our bloodstream to our organs, with serious health implications ❤️🩹. At Footprint, we are on a mission to build a more sustainable future 🌱 . We believe packaging shouldn’t pollute our bodies or our planet. That’s why we’re replacing single-use plastic with plant-based fiber sustainable alternatives that perform better and protect people 🫡. It’s time for systemic change. Footprint is proud to be leading the way to build a healthier planet for healthier people 🌎.

At Footprint, we celebrated Father’s Day by honoring those who give their all — both at work and at home. 👨🦰 🥳 The celebration took place simultaneously across all our MX plants, where dads enjoyed a special lunch, had fun singing karaoke 🎤, and received a personalized tool kit as a token of appreciation. It was a day filled with joy, music, and meaningful moments. We organized it with great care, knowing that being a father doesn’t stop at the workplace — it continues with the same dedication at home. At Footprint, we believe building a more sustainable future starts with valuing the people who make it possible. Celebrating our dads is a way of recognizing the commitment, hard work, and love they bring every day — both on the job and in their families. Thank you to all the amazing Footprint dads, stepfathers, grandfathers for being role models, strong supporters, and daily sources of inspiration. 💚 #Footprint #ChampionsofChange #Fathersday
