Mondelez has also signed up to the associated New Plastics Economy Initiative and is a signatory to the UK Plastics Pact.

The initiatives share a collective ambition to address plastic waste and pollution at its source, by moving toward a “circular economy” where plastic stays out of the environment.

Mondelez has set 2025 innovation targets to ensure 100% of packaging is designed to be recycled, contains on-pack recycling information and contributes to the company’s commitment to reduce CO2 emissions. It said that today, some 93% of its total packaging, including both plastic and non-plastic, is designed to be recycled.
