PepsiCo UK has now achieved Zero Waste to Landfill status at 11 of its major manufacturing sites, including Walkers in Leicester and Quaker Oats in Cupar.
In 2008, PepsiCo UK revealed a number of commitments to grow sustainably and minimise its impact on the environment, including sending no waste to landfill through its entire supply chain by 2018. Just two years later, 11 key manufacturing sites have achieved this – saving the business £750,000 over the last 3 years.
Commenting on the news, European Director of Sustainability Martyn Seal said:
"This is a great achievement and there are two key factors to our success. Firstly, our team;they have really got behind this initiative and recognise not only the environmental benefits but also the cost savings we can achieve."
"Secondly, the close collaboration we have built with our waste management company. With their help we have developed bespoke solutions that allow us to make the most of our waste. For example, we sell our leftover oat husks at Quaker to UK power stations and they use them to generate power. This is a real win-win situation as we not only generate income but avoid expensive landfill charges."
