- Supply chain disruptions due to shortages of raw materials, rising input costs, currency exchange rate volatility, and rising interest rates
- Temporary interruptions in Energy Attribute Certifications (EACs) purchases
- Challenges in achieving plastic reduction targets due to recyclability, raw material pricing, and supply chain reliability
- Difficulties in accurately measuring FSC progress at third-party fulfillers (3PFs)
