Applying science to improve lives

3M has a long-standing commitment to sustainability and it is a core value of our company. Our consistent industry leadership is evident in the establishment of our ground-breaking Pollution Prevention Pays program in 1975, which continues to thrive, as well as more recent initiatives, including our shift to renewable energy sources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing circular solutions and growing our skills-based volunteering programs. Together with our employees, customers, partners, governments and communities, 3M is committed to a science-based, collaborative approach to solving shared global challenges and improving lives. 

At this year’s 3M Open, we will be highlighting sustainable solutions ranging from recycled insulation, construction materials, and more.

Sustainability Partners

Nature Valley

Arrow Right Arrow Bottom

Nature Valley is committed to a more recyclable future. Parks, trails, lands and waters are precious to us all and must be preserved for future generations. We're starting by making our Crunchy bar wrappers store drop-off recyclable.

Believe it or not, recycling polyethylene film is more than a sustainable, eco-friendly way to minimize our environmental footprint. That same material can also be turned into some pretty amazing things. Your contributions to store drop-off recycling can be turned into playground sets, decking, fencing, and furniture — all things that can help you make the most of your outdoor spaces.

But that's only our first step toward making all of our packaging fully recyclable by 2025. Visit our See-Saw at Fan Village to learn more.
