May 7, 2020

American food manufacturer Campbell Soup Company said Wednesday that it plans to shift its product packaging to recyclable or industrially compostable designs by 2030 and announced other goals to increase the sustainability of its packaging.
“Our new packaging commitments provide a roadmap to further reduce the environmental impact of our packaging over time and build upon our history of sustainability,” Craig Slavtcheff, Campbell’s Executive Vice President, Global Research and Development, said in a release.
The firm’s four goals touch on each part of the packaging lifecycle, including sourcing and end-of-life:
1.)Transition 100% of packaging to recyclable or industrially compostable designs and materials by 2030.
2.)Increase the use of post-consumer recycled content and incorporate 25% post-consumer recycled content into polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles by 2030.
3.)Drive increases in recycling rates through standardized on-pack labeling by including the How2Recycle label on 100% of packaging by 2022.
4.)Expand access to recycling and advance the development of infrastructure to improve the collection and recycling of packaging by building and investing in partnerships with peers and industry groups.
Campbell’s new goals echo recent moves made by industry peers like Nestle and Conagra, who have also set packaging sustainability goals for the coming years.
