Reducing Waste
We are working to reduce our impact
on landfills around the globe.
PepsiCo UK pledged in 2008 to
achieve zero landfill waste across its total
supply chain within 10 years. To date,
it has focused on reducing waste at its
manufacturing sites. With aggressive
programs to recycle and reuse materials,
eight of these sites in 2009 had already
met their goal of zero landfill waste.
The strong support of frontline associ-
ates was integral to each plant’s success,
and PepsiCo UK is trying to extend its
pledge across its supply chain. The plants
began by appointing marshals to help
identify the different waste streams, over-
see correct removal and educate front-
line associates on the need to recycle. In
Cupar, Scotland, the Quaker Oats factory
Quaker is using the power of the oat to fuel a local
university. The Quaker Cedar Rapids plant is converting
oat hulls into a biomass alternative energy source that
supplies 14 percent of the University of Iowa’s power.
replaced multiple contractors with a
single partner who helped guide its
waste strategy.
Similar programs are in place in
the United States at Quaker, Tropicana
and Frito-Lay, where the businesses are
recycling more byproducts and also
promoting household recycling. Quaker
Oats is using 100 percent of the oat, in-
corporating oat kernels into whole grain
foods while converting the outer hulls
of oats into renewable biomass energy.
This practice, in turn, keeps waste from
the milling process out of local landfills.
Tropicana launched a recycling initiative
with Waste Management and its carton
suppliers that increased access to curb-
side recycling of juice cartons nationwide
by 26 percent in 2009.
