The transition into 100% food-grade rPET in the United States is expected to help Kraft Heinz [cut 20% of virgin plastic](https://packagingeurope.com/news/kraft-heinz-targets-global-virgin-plastic-reduction-of-over-100-million-pounds-by-2030/10125.article?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) from its global packaging portfolio by 2030. “We are investing in innovative technologies and partnerships that are critical to helping us redesign packaging, eliminate unnecessary plastic, increase our use of recycled content, and influence the adoption of reuse models,” said Rashida La Lande, General Counsel & Chief Legal and Corporate Affairs officer at Kraft Heinz. “This is one more way we’re renovating our product portfolio to not only offer more sustainable options, but to deliver on our consumer expectations.” Jack Pacente, vice president of Global Sustainability at Plastipak, went on to explain that “for decades, our passion for the environment has been at the heart of everything we do. It’s led us to be an industry leader in recycling, as well as a pioneer in responsible packaging design and low-carbon production.” Plastipak operates, and continues to invest in, five global recycling centres in Dundee, MI, USA; Toledo, Spain; Hemswell, UK; Bascharage, Luxembourg; and Beaune, France. These investments are set to keep increasing the facilities’ recycling capacities. Additionally, Plastipak’s Bottle-to-Bottle programme wasclaimed to recycle over 11 billion bottles in 2023, which increased the company’s recycling capacity by over 15% to reach a total of 495 million lbs.

Meanwhile, Plastipak’s collaboration with [PVG Liquids](https://nl.pvg.eu/over-pvg/liquids/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) in 2023 sought to [reduce PET usage by 500 tons](https://packagingeurope.com/news/lightweight-preform-for-20l-stackable-container-revealed-by-plastipak/10495.article?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) in the next five years and eliminate around 200 tons of CO2 emissions annually with a 375g preform for a lightweight, 20-litre stackable container.
