This Earth Day, our Oconomowoc team rolled up their sleeves and got outside to make a difference—collecting 44 lbs of trash from the local business park where our Tech Center is located. 💪🗑️ It was more than just a cleanup—it was a chance to live our values. Across Silgan, we encouraged teams to celebrate Earth Day in ways that reflect our shared commitment to sustainability, stewardship, and supporting the communities we work in. Whether it’s protecting the places we call home or reducing waste in our facilities, our Earth Day actions weren’t symbolic—they were intentional and impactful. Thank you to everyone who participated and led by example. 👏🌿 #EarthDay2025 #SilganStrong #SustainabilityInAction #OconomowocWI #ProudToBeSilgan #CommunityMatters...Show more
