This follows Walmart saying at the end of 2024 it would miss 2025 and 2030 greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets. \u201cWhile we have made significant progress towards our ambitious 2025 goals for recycled content, virgin plastic reduction, and packaging recyclability, we expect to fall short of achieving these goals by 2025,\u201d the company wrote. Walmart shared data from calendar year 2023 in its post.<\/p>\n<p>Walmart largely attributed increases in the weight of virgin plastic used to growth in product categories like food. It says it reduced its overall plastic packaging intensity, when measuring weight of plastic per net sales dollar. According to Walmart\u2019s reporting to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, virgin weight totaled nearly 1.07 million metric tons in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Walmart also participates in the U.S. Plastics Pact, which last year largely pushed collective 2025 goals to 2030. Those shared goals include reducing virgin plastic use by 30%; eliminating \u201cproblematic and unnecessary\u201d materials; recycling half of all plastic packaging; averaging 30% PCR or responsibly sourced biobased content across all plastic packaging; making all plastic packaging recyclable, reusable or compostable; and more.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wastedive.com\/news\/walmart-packaging-sustainability-goals-plastic\/742322\/\">Waste Dive<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-673\/\">Walmart says it\u2019s unlikely to meet 2025 plastic, recycling targets<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,18209,3429],"class_list":["post-138193","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-recycling-target","tag-walmart"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138193","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138193"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138193\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138193"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138193"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138193"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
