Activist Group, As You Sow Files Shareholder Resolutions Over Plastics

05/15/2021

Following negotiations with environmental activist group As You Sow, Walmart has agreed to reduce the use of virgin (non-recycled) plastic by 2025.  In 2019, Walmart used 1.2 million metric tons of plastic packaging in private brands.  

 

Mondelez, Keurig, PepsiCo, Target and other companies will face shareholder resolutions although many of these companies have already announced goals to reduce plastic packaging.  In 2019, Unilever agreed to halve their virgin plastic consumption, eliminating 100,000 tons of plastic packaging waste by 2025.
