In a major step towards environmental sustainability, PepsiCo India has announced the launch of Pepsi Black bottles made entirely from 100% recycled plastic. This innovative move by the renowned beverage company marks a significant milestone in its ongoing commitment to reduce plastic waste and promote a circular economy. Using 100% rPET (recycled plastic), PepsiCo introduced Pepsi Black in bottles for the first time.
The introduction of the Pepsi Black bottles aligns with PepsiCo’s global sustainability agenda and its vision to create a world where packaging materials never become waste. By utilising 100% recycled plastic, PepsiCo aims to minimise its environmental footprint, conserve resources, and contribute to a cleaner, greener planet.
The newly designed Pepsi Black bottles are manufactured using an advanced recycling process that transforms post-consumer plastic waste into high-quality food-grade packaging material. This breakthrough technology ensures that no new plastic is produced, thereby reducing the reliance on virgin materials and minimising the carbon emissions associated with plastic production.
