PepsiCo Pledges To Reduce Virgin Plastic Use The Berkeley, California-based nonprofit group that pro- motes shareholder advocacy, As You Sow, has announced that PepsiCo Inc., headquartered in Purchase, NewYork, has agreed to reduce its total virgin nonrenewable plastic use across its brands by 20 percent by 2030. The company reached an agreement with As You Sow to set an absolute plastic reduction target following the filing of a shareholder resolution on the topic but needed time to assess the size of the cuts, according to the nonprofit. The commitment should reduce the company’s use of vir- gin nonrenewable plastic by about 460,000 tons over the next nine years and result in a 50 percent cut in virgin nonrenew- able plastic when measured per serving across its food and beverage portfolios.AsYou Sow said PepsiCo projects that by expanding its SodaStream business, which allows consumers to make beverages at home without containers, it could avoid the use of 200 billion plastic bottles by 2030. Four other large companies — Keurig Dr Pepper, Monde- lez International, Target Corp. and Walmart Inc.— agreed to virgin plastic reductions earlier this year that will be achieved by 2025, the nonprofit said.

Altshausen, Germany-based Stadler supplied the technol- ogy for the Azcapotzalco Transfer Station and Sorting Plant.

Madero, Miguel Hidalgo and Azcapotzalco, and will be able to receive up to 1,400 metric tons of scrap per day. The facility provides 404 jobs for the community.
