We've taken another big leap forward in our work to create the world’s next generation of safe, smart, sustainable food & beverage containers! We're the first in North America to add PulPac’s revolutionary dry molded fiber production process, which will allow us to create products with significantly less water and energy than traditional fiber forming. It also lowers the CO2 production footprint by up to 80%. Thanks to PulPac and Seismic Solutions LLC for being part of our journey! Read more on our website>>>>

We're happy to support the innovative litter mitigation work of the Council of the Great Lakes Region and EcoSuperior Environmental Programs - and grateful for their dedication and hard work to keep our waterways clean!

We’re looking forward to this weekend’s job fair at Lansing’s Juneteenth Celebration. Come see us at our booth - we’d love to talk to you about Dart!

Congrats to two of our brilliant engineers! Chelsea Olcese, Engineering Manager, and the late Randy Lamie, Staff Engineer, were recently awarded a patent for an innovative process related to paper container adhesives. Their work will help us continue finding alternative coatings for more sustainable cups. Randy’s daughter, Megan Goodrich (left, with plaque), who also works here at Dart on coatings development, accepted the patent on his behalf. In addition to his two patents and many inventive ideas, we remember Randy for his curiosity and kindness. A big thanks to Chelsea (right, with plaque) and Randy for this new process and for all their important innovations in product development and testing!

At Dart, one way we demonstrate our commitment to safety is by encouraging as many of our employees as possible to take part in free first-responder training. The training, which teaches CPR and first aid, showed its exceptional worth recently at our production facility in Leola, PA. Trained first responders quickly answered the call when coworkers discovered Lead Maintenance Mechanic Bruce Jones unresponsive on the job due to a medical emergency. The first responders delivered CPR until 911 personnel arrived. Bruce remained unresponsive for several days and in the hospital for several weeks, but – as he began to recover – his mother called the plant to thank those who responded for saving his life. Bruce got the chance to deliver a heartfelt thank you of his own after returning to the job and joining the first responders for a thank you lunch.
