With few controls and little transparency around where waste was ending up, Black wanted greater visibility and environmental investment.

In 2019, Jabil’s packaging division became a signatory to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s New Plastics Economy Global Commitment. This initiative, in collaboration with the United Nations, seeks to change the way we produce, use and reuse plastic. In part, we have pledged to...
