ReSource: Plastic, a project of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), this week\u00a0published<\/a> \u201cTransparent 2020: Mapping corporate action on plastic waste The report covers recycled plastic use in recent years by five companies that are principal members of the ReSource: Plastic project: Keurig Dr Pepper, McDonald\u2019s, Procter & Gamble, Starbucks and The Coca-Cola Company.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The project, which launched in 2019, has a goal to reduce plastic waste by eliminating unnecessary material use; shifting from virgin to recycled content or other more sustainable alternatives; and increasing collection, recycling and composting of plastic.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Overall, the report found these major brand owners together used 8% PCR across their consumer-facing plastic packaging materials, out of a total 4.2 million metric tons of plastic used.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The recent publication provides a \u201cbaseline of plastic use\u201d to track corporate action and progress, according to the report.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

According to ReSource: Plastic, company material use was as follows:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Keurig Dr Pepper<\/strong>\u00a0used 208,000 metric tons of plastic in 2018. Of this, 99.7% was virgin content and 0.3% was recycled content.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

McDonald\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0used 153,000 metric tons of plastic in 2018. Of this, 98% was virgin content, 2% was recycled content and 0.1% was \u201cother biobased content.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Procter & Gamble<\/strong>\u00a0used 605,000 metric tons of plastic from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. Of this, 93% was virgin content and 7% was recycled content.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Starbucks<\/strong>\u00a0used 190,000 metric tons of plastic from Oct. 1, 2017 through Sept. 30, 2018. Of this, 93% was virgin content, 6% was recycled content and 1% was \u201cother biobased content.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The Coca-Cola Company<\/strong>\u00a0used 3 million metric tons of plastic in 2018. Of this, 90% was virgin content, over 8% was recycled content, over 1% was \u201csustainable biobased content\u201d and less than 1% was \u201cother biobased content.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The report also includes a variety of details about each company\u2019s current plastic waste priorities and strategies for improving sustainability initiatives. In the report, leaders from the major corporations described the findings as setting a foundation for their work in the coming years.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cThe findings of the report underline the importance of the packaging and waste elimination goals we have set for our company and reiterate the importance of collaboration,\u201d said Monique Oxender, chief sustainability officer for Keurig Dr Pepper. \u201cWe look forward to the expansion of this promising program and continuing to be an active and collaborative member as the group grows and evolves.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n
