Texon creates role to oversee sustainability work

20/03/2020
Having committed to become a zero waste organisation by 2025, materials supplier Texon has appointed Boyd Mulder (pictured) to lead the effort to drive sustainability measures throughout the entire company. 

Mr Mulder, who recently joined Texon as group director for new product development and innovation (NPDI), will lead the global execution of the company’s strategic roadmap for its product and marketing organisation with an even stronger focus on sustainability. He will work across all Texon locations worldwide but will spend most of his time at the company’s manufacturing facility in Skelton, UK.

Texon has said that, over the next five years, it will attempt to reduce its carbon footprint by 50%; cut the use of virgin materials by 50%; ensure that 90% of waste is recyclable or reusable; and reduce water usage and waste by 20%.
