PepsiCo, a leading food and beverage giant, has announced plans to cut back on the use of virgin plastic and expand its SodaStream carbonated-water business to more markets in response to increasing calls to combat climate change.

According to the company, as part of a new initiative called “pep+”, the food and beverage giant aims to reduce virgin plastic use per serving by half across all brands by 2030 and use 50% recycled content in all its plastic packaging.

PepsiCo’s ambitious plastics plan also includes scaling its SodaStream business globally, Laguarta told Reuters in an interview. SodaStream, acquired by PepsiCo in 2018, makes machines and refillable cylinders that let users make their own soda or carbonated water drinks at home.

The brand, currently in 40 countries, will bring new flavours into 23 more markets and introduce its new SodaStream Professional platform aimed at businesses in 10 additional markets by 2022.
