Kraft Heinz aims to make 100% of its packaging globally recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2025.
As part of its commitment to reduce natural resource needs and manage overall environmental footprint, The Kraft Heinz Co., Pittsburgh, Pa., announced the expansion of its environmental stewardship strategy to include time-bound targets for achieving greater packaging sustainability and setting science-based goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Specifically, Kraft Heinz aims to make 100% of its packaging globally recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2025. To do so, Kraft Heinz will partner with packaging experts, organizations and coalitions to explore technical, end-of-life and infrastructure solutions. Kraft Heinz is already collaborating with Environmental Packaging International (EPI), Jamestown, R.I., for consulting, tracking and other specialist services in the packaging space. The company will also work toward increasing the usage of recycled content in its packaging and decreasing the overall volume of packaging used.
