The Kraft Heinz Company is taking significant steps towards sustainability by updating its packaging goals to reduce the use of virgin plastic by 20% across its global packaging portfolio by 2030. This move aligns with the company’s broader environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals to decrease fossil fuel usage and implement more sustainable packaging options. The reduction in virgin plastic usage is expected to reach around 100 million pounds. Additionally, Kraft Heinz aims to achieve 100% recyclable, compostable, or reusable packaging by 2025 and target net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, with a 50% reduction by 2030. The company is investing in innovative technologies and partnerships to redesign packaging, increase recycled content, and promote reuse models. They are actively implementing these goals, with several packaging initiatives already underway in various regions, including recyclable Heinz Beans Snap Pots and a pilot project for a paper-based, renewable, and recyclable bottle for Heinz Tomato Ketchup.
