Sales have doubled since 2017, reaching $8.8B in 2024, with a broad presence across food, beverage, foodservice, household, and health & beauty markets.
Approximately 95% of revenues are from recyclable products, supported by a portfolio of around 3,000 patents.

Free cash flow is projected to significantly exceed capital requirements, with $5B expected between 2024 and 2030.
Capital allocation priorities include reinvestment, dividend growth, share repurchases, and achieving investment grade credit ratings by 2030.
Since 2018, about 24% of shares have been repurchased while maintaining modest leverage and doubling EBITDA.
2025 guidance projects net sales of $8.4B–$8.6B, adjusted EBITDA of $1.45B–$1.55B, and capital spending of ~$850M.
