Target has announced that it will ensure that all private label products conform to environmentally sustainable packaging standards by 2025.  Plastic packaging for Target brands will have to be recyclable, compostable or reusable by this year. 

The company has a long-term plan to eliminate waste and to increase reuse by 2040.  Target is yet another major retailer committed to recycling and elimination of waste, including adoption of  degradable or recyclable plastics.
