Albertsons Cos. has pledged 100 percent of its own brands packaging will be recyclable, reusable, or industrially compostable by 2025. It will recycle operational plastics for use in new retail, industrial, and/or consumer items.
The company will provide clear recycling communications on own brands product packaging, including the use of QR codes, by 2022. Albertsons is working with How2Recycle to standardize its labeling system and improve the reliability completeness and transparency of recyclability claims.
Additionally, the company will source and share industry best practices with other members of the Sustainable Packaging Coalition, a 250-company collaborative of retailers, manufacturers, governments, and educational institutions focused on strengthening and advancing the business case for sustainable packaging.
