PepsiCo reports that last year its Scope 3 emissions were affected by business growth causing increased packaging use, transportation, third-party manufacturing and other purchased goods. Packaging The expanded goals for packaging include reducing the use of virgin plastic, increasing use of recycled plastic and making all packaging recyclable, compostable, biodegradable or reusable by 2025. As with emissions data, PepsiCo said its greater-than-anticipated business growth in 2022 affected its virgin plastic reduction; it also experienced impacts from the limited and high-priced recycled plastic material supply. A new goal is to scale new business models, such as reuse and refill, that eliminate or reduce single-use packaging materials. While the aim is to deliver 20% of all beverage servings via reusables by 2030, the target was introduced in late 2022 and data won't be available until the company publishes its 2023 report.
