Today, PepsiCo announced that by 2030, it plans to use 100% recycled or renewable plastic in all of its crisp packaging, which will apply to brands such as Walkers, Doritos and Lay’s.
The announcement followed the implementation of PepsiCo's sustainable development strategy, PepsiCo positive. For its chip range, the goal will include eliminating virgin fossil-based plastics, which the company claims could reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with film packaging by up to 40% per tonne of packaging material.
PepsiCo says it will begin rolling out new packaging for European markets in 2022. The first step will be to include renewable plastic in the Lay's range in France, while some Walkers brand bags will test recycled content in the UK.
