Additional Metric Notes
ACT-D stage: Disclose Maturity stage: Advancing Metric Contribution to Action: Tracking plastic polymer use and content helps reduce dependence on virgin materials and encourages sustainable sourcing practices in supply chains. Observations/Sucesses/Challenges: > This is relatively easy to track through procurement and material sourcing records. > Measures circularity of plastic use > Does not capture the full lifecycle of plastic and its environmental impact
