LONDON, Feb. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Klöckner Pentaplast (kp or the company), a leading global manufacturer of high barrier protective packaging solutions with industry-leading use of recycled content, today announced the launch of its new sustainability strategy, ‘Investing in Better’. This follows on from the recent announcement of the successful completion of kp’s entire capital structure refinancing, which is the first of its kind to incorporate an ESG-Ratchet Linked Term Loan marketed to U.S. investors.

With the new ‘Investing in Better’ sustainability strategy, the company has set itself ten clear targets for long-term improvement grouped into three key objectives: Close the Loop, which commits kp to using more recycled material, closing the packaging loop and taking every opportunity to make packaging recyclable.

And Act Responsibly, builds on the cornerstone of kp culture of continuous improvement in the areas of employee engagement, safety, and will enable kp to become a more diverse and inclusive company.

kp CEO Scott Tracey said: «Our new sustainability strategy is inextricably linked to our purpose, the sustainable protection of everyday needs, and sustainability has been a core value at kp for many years. For the last three years, our ‘Positive Plastics Pledge’ initiative helped advance our sustainability agenda and this new strategy serves as a roadmap to build and expand on the progress we’ve already made. Ultimately, ‘Investing in Better’ will enable us to meet the long-term needs of our people, our communities and our planet. Based on our track-record, kp is well-positioned to deliver on these aims.»

Prior to the launch of ‘Investing in Better’, kp drove key initiatives to raise awareness of the value of plastic waste and recycling, and opportunities to work closely with stakeholders to develop the infrastructure, education and incentives around recycling plastic for a circular economy.

Adam Elman, kp Group Director of Sustainability, adds: «We recognise that the environmental and social challenges of today call for more urgent action and a broader, science-based plan. Just in the last year, the global pandemic has triggered many profound changes and exposed significant global inequities. It’s critical that we’re embarking on this journey now, expanding beyond our recycling efforts. Going forward, our commitments now include the continuation of work to raise awareness and collaborate with key stakeholders on recycling for a circular economy, as well as reducing our carbon footprint, supporting the communities where we live and work, becoming more diverse and inclusive as a company, and ensuring a safe environment where all kp colleagues can thrive.»

PHOENIX, Feb. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Republic Services, Inc. has provided additional recognition to its 28,000 frontline employees with $500 «Committed to Serve» awards, thanking them for their dedication and service to communities throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The multimillion-dollar «Committed to Serve» initiative was launched by Republic Services in April 2020 to support its essential workers and small businesses across the country during this time of unprecedented challenges.

«The extraordinary efforts of our employees, including our essential workers, over the past year allowed Republic Services to remain fully operational throughout the pandemic,» said Jon Vander Ark, president. «Toward the end of 2020, we made the decision to continue to acknowledge their relentless commitment through an additional $500 ‘Committed to Serve’ award.»  

Republic Services launched its innovative «Committed to Serve» initiative early in the pandemic with multiple benefits designed to support frontline employees, customers and local communities. As part of the more than $30 million initiative, the Company purchased weekly meals from independently owned restaurants for employees and their families, and provided $11 million worth of gift cards to employees to spend in the local economy.

In addition, the Company contributed $3 million in funding for small business revitalization projects through «Committed to Serve» grants from the Republic Services Charitable Foundation. These grants will support revitalization projects at more than 135 small businesses in 25 markets across the country.

GREENVILLE, S.C., Feb. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Viatec  announces their flagship product SmartPTO is now incentive eligible under the California Air Resources Board’s Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project. The incentive project was launched to accelerate the adoption of cleaner, more-efficient trucks and buses. Viatec’s SmartPTO allows bucket truck operators seeking an ePTO solution to begin their transition into using electricity as a fuel.

«Viatec’s goal is to provide reliable electrification solutions to help fleets reduce emissions, thus assisting them in shifting away from petroleum products while providing workers with safer and healthier job sites. SmartPTO offers a cost-effective way for fleets to use their existing trucks without the harmful emissions associated with engine idling,» said Anjali Deodhar, Viatec’s VP of Sales.

«CARB is pleased to add the Viatec SmartPTO electric power take off system to the growing lineup of HVIP-eligible near-zero emission technologies. Trucks outfitted with the Viatec system provide zero-emission operation in communities and fuel savings when performing work such as critical utility line maintenance and repair,» said Dr. Sydney Vergis, Head of the CARB Mobile Source Control Division.»

A Cost-Effective, Retrofittable Technology

The SmartPTO system is available with either a 14.4 kWh or a 21.6 kWh battery pack, allowing a work truck operator to use battery-electric power for the vehicle’s work functions for a full workday. The system is quickly installed on any new and most existing chassis.

The SmartPTO system is charged by either a level one 120 v outlet or a standard level two J1772 charger used by most light duty electric vehicles – an easier infrastructure option for fleets that can use any existing outlet to charge the ePTO without the heavier power loads traditionally associated with work truck electrification.

SmartPTO is deployed across all major bucket truck brands with several major electric utilities in the US and Canada. It is sold and serviced through multiple OEM and reseller partners in North America.

Safer and Healthier Jobsites Without the Risk of Downtime

«California’s utilities have historically struggled with electrification goals, as their fleet of bucket trucks needs to be ready to work all-day, every day until power can be restored. SmartPTO provides that flexibility since it does not preclude use of the traditional PTO should the battery be depleted during extended field operations,» said Urvi Nagrani, an advisor to Viatec.
