tent, and builds on a previous launch of the pantry jars with 15 percent recycled plastic in 2022. The updated jars are now rolling out across the country. This move to 100 percent recycled plastic incorporates mechanically processed recycled content and will elimi- nate more than 1,300 metric tons of virgin plastic annually. The material used for the jars, post-consumer resin, is a packaging option made from recycled plastics collected from consumers. This option helps prevent plastic waste from ending in landfills, decreases virgin plastic consump- tion and reduces emissions while promoting a circular economy. As part of its Sustainable Packaging Plan, Mars has been redesigning its packaging portfolio to reduce plas- tic packaging and redesign packaging to ensure it can be reusable, recyclable or compostable. Mars has been partnering with Berry since 2017 to innovate sustainable packaging.
