Halloween is a time for creativity, fun, and a little fright—but it’s also a great opportunity to make sustainable choices! At Silgan Plastics, we’re proud of our commitment to environmental responsibility, and that extends to how we celebrate.
Here are some easy, festive ways to enjoy Halloween while keeping sustainability top of mind:
Costume Creativity
- Swap & Share: Host a costume exchange with coworkers or friends.
- DIY Magic: Repurpose old clothes or household items into clever costumes.

- LED Lights: Save energy while setting the mood.
Treats with a Twist
