The Kellogg Co. has expanded its Global Sustainability Commitments to include a goal of using 100 percent reusable, recyclable, or compostable packaging by the end of 2025. The company is working with suppliers to identify packaging designs that can minimize waste while still ensuring quality and safety for food products.
Kellogg already took steps toward improving the sustainability of its own facilities. In April 2018, the company made plans to transition to compostable and paper foodservice products in all of its plants and offices globally by the end of 2018, eliminating single-use foam and plastic serviceware, plastic straws, and plastic water bottles. Additionally, in Europe, the company launched a project to move its cereal pouches to a recycle-ready material by late 2019, which will remove an estimated 480 metric tons of non-recyclable packaging from its supply chain each year.
