Cabka’s emission reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative
A major milestone in Cabka’s decarbonization journey
Amsterdam, Netherlands – 19 October 2026 – Cabka N.V. (together with its subsidiaries “Cabka”, or the “Company”), a company specialized in transforming hard to recycle plastic waste into innovative Reusable Transport Packaging (RTP), listed at Euronext Amsterdam, today announces that its near-term science-based emissions reduction targets have been validated by SBTi Services, the validation body of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This important milestone provides a clear and measurable pathway for reducing emissions across our operations and value chain.
The validation builds on Cabka’s existing progress in reducing the carbon footprint of our operations and products, while continuing to expand the circular economy. Cabka committed to the set near-term science-based emissions reduction targets in 2024, aiming to achieve validation in 2026. This milestone has now been achieved on schedule.
“SBTi validation is an important milestone for Cabka,” said Alexander Masharov, CEO of Cabka. “Our priority is to deliver measurable emissions reductions through renewable electricity, more efficient operations and keeping more plastics in the loop. Expanding BuyBack and increasing the use of recycled materials will be central to turning our climate commitments into results.”
Validated targets
Cabka has set a target to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 79.79% by 2030 from a 2022 base year. We have also set a target to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services and the end-of-life treatment of sold products by 35.0% by 2036 from a 2022 base year.
Measurable progress
From 2022 to 2025, Cabka’s market-based scope 1 and 2 emissions decreased by approximately 66%, driven by the switch to renewable electricity across our sites. That is more than four fifths of the distance to the validated 2030 target. Over the same period, total reported scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, including exclusions, fell by approximately 15%.
Scope 3 remains the largest share of Cabka’s footprint. Reducing it, through raw material choices and the end-of-life treatment of sold products, is the focus of the 2036 target.
Ambition beyond the validated targets
The validated targets define our science-based pathway. On this basis, we continue to pursue our broader company ambition of 100% renewable energy and carbon-neutral own operations by 2030. That ambition goes beyond the validated targets and continues to guide our investment choices.
We will keep reducing emissions across our operations and value chain, with circularity, renewable electricity, energy efficiency and material choices at the heart of our approach.
