What is PepsiCo doing to reduce waste internally?
As our business continues to grow and thrive, we remain focused on innovating our packaging to make it increasingly sustainable, minimizing our impact on the environment. In 2014, we removed more than 89 million pounds of packaging materials from the market and used more than 130 million pounds of food-grade rPET in our packaging. PepsiCo is committed to reducing our overall impact on the environment and is the only major beverage company consistently using rPET in its containers in the U.S. The PepsiCo Recycling program directly supports the PepsiCo closed loop packaging system – when people recycle with PepsiCo, their bottles and cans are put back into our system and back on the shelf within 60 days.
