PepsiCo Accelerates Plastic Waste Reduction Efforts

摘要

Packaging World: Why did PepsiCo decide to up the ante with its announcement of a goal to reduce the use of virgin plastics across its beverage portfolio by 35% by 2025? Roberta Barbieri: We share concern over the growing threat that plastic packaging waste poses, and we recognize the significant role we can, and must, play in working to change the way society makes, uses, and disposes of plastics. Last fall we announced a new target to reduce 35% of virgin plastic content across our beverage business by 2025, which equates to the elimination of 2.5 million metric tons of cumulative virgin plastic. This is another step forward in our journey toward a world where plastics need never become waste.
