Sustainability

Wet Wipe manufacturing doesn’t come without an environmental cost. At Rockline we believe we have a responsibility to care for our planet while caring for your brand.

The organisational focus we launched on Earth Day 2008 has evolved into our current sustainability program.
We are infusing sustainability even deeper into Rockline’s culture by improving the sustainability of:
  • the material we source
  • our products
  • our operations
  • our communities

This signals our commitment to sustainability to our customers, suppliers and community.

As part of this commitment, as an organisation Rockline has aligned with near-term science based targets to reduce our absolute greenhouse gas emissions by 50% in ten years compared to a baseline year of 2022. We developed a strategy that will not only help us meet that target, but exceed that goal in a matter of years.

Here at the UK facility we publicly show our commitment through our involvement with EcoVadis and we are proud to have achieved Silver Sustainability Rating for 2023.
