The PepsiCo Positive (pep+) initiative was launched in September 2021. So far, the company claims to have made \u2018positive strides\u2019 on its sustainable packaging and climate change \u2018while accounting for external realities and business growth\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>However, the company has revisited its packaging, climate, agriculture, and water goals in hopes of \u2018build[ing] a stronger, more resilient business that aims to drive scalable positive impact\u2019. Originally, PepsiCo sought to achieve a 20% reduction in absolute tonnage of virgin plastic derived from non-renewable sources by 2030. In 2023, it has only reduced 1%.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, it has scrapped its original 2020 baseline and switched to an average year-over-year reduction of 2% within the same time frame. While it had intended to design 100% of its packaging to be recyclable, compostable, biodegradable, or reusable by 2025, it predicted in its 2023 ESG Summary Overview that it would fall short of this target \u2013 having reached 89% in the same year. Now it sets its sights on achieving at least 97% reusable, recyclable, or compostable primary and secondary packaging in its key packaging markets by 2030, having removed biodegradability from its scope.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/packagingeurope.com\/news\/pepsico-revisits-plastic-packaging-targets-due-to-external-factors\/12867.article\">Packaging Europe<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-718\/\">PepsiCo revisits plastic packaging targets due to \u2018external factors\u2019<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[22,1],"tags":[575,7240,6258,11410,655],"class_list":["post-140272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-yleinen","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-pepsico","tag-plastic-packaging","tag-sustainable-packaging","tag-yleinen"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140272"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140272\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
