PepsiCo Europe sets target to eliminate fossil-based plastic in crisps bags by 2030

PepsiCo has today announced that it is aiming to use 100% recycled or renewable plastic in all of its crisp packets by 2030, which will apply to brands including Walkers, Doritos, and Lay’s.

The announcement follows the introduction of the company’s sustainability strategy, PepsiCo Positive. For its crisps range, the target will involve eliminating virgin fossil-based plastics, which the company claims could reduce greenhouse gasses (GHG) linked to its film packaging by up to 40% per tonne of packaging material.

PepsiCo says it will begin the rollout of the new packaging for European markets in 2022. The first move will be incorporating renewable plastic into a Lay’s range in France, while some Walkers brand packets will trial recycled content in the UK.
