MISSION
Doing More With Less.
At Scotch™ Brand, we believe we can all do more with less: finding new and clever ways to bring ideas to life.
We want Doers everywhere to thoughtfully create, re-use, repair and protect all while using less. Less energy. Less materials. Less time. Less worry.
That’s why we are committed to making quality tools that get projects done right the first time,
while minimizing the use of virgin plastic and our impacts on the environment.
Join us in our never-ending pursuit as we rethink, refocus, and reimagine what we can do together for the planet we share.

COMMITMENT
Goals to Drive Impact
When we state our intentions, we can be focused on the action steps needed to reach our goals. Even the smallest sustainability improvements can have impact. Here are two significant milestones we’re working towards in the coming years:
- 3M has met the goal to eliminate 125 million pounds of plastic waste by 2025, of which the Scotch™ Brand* contributed over 70 million pounds of plastic reduction. The Scotch™ Brand* will continue to contribute against 3M’s new goal of 225 million pounds of plastic reduction by 2030.
- Transitioning 100% of our packaging to reusable or curbside recyclable by 2032.
