PepsiCo To Eliminate Virgin Plastics From Beverage Bottles In Nine EU Markets By 2022

PepsiCo has announced plans to switch to beverage bottles made from 100% recycled plastic for its Pepsi Brand in nine EU markets by 2022.

The initiative will reduce carbon emissions by 40% compared to standard bottles and eliminate over 70,000 tonnes of virgin, fossil-fuel-based plastic from its operations per year.

The cola giant will use plastics recycled from post-consumer packaging (rPET) for its entire beverage range under the Pepsi brand.
