Latest Announcements by Industry Leaders

  • In September 2024, Dirk Van de Put, CEO of Mondelēz International, stated that sourcing material linked to advanced recycling technologies (mass balance) helps send a signal to the broader industry and can help to drive collection, sortation, and processing of more plastic waste. The company work hard to improve confectionery packaging in order to promote a more circular packaging economy. The company accomplish this by utilizing creative collaborations, optimizing processes, and minimizing and changing packaging.

In the U.S. and Canada, Mondelèz International has declared that it will procure plastic associated with sophisticated recycling technology, commonly referred to as chemical or molecular recycling, for the packaging of most of its SKUs for its Triscuit Crackers. Triscuit is a well-known snacking brand with over a century of history and tradition. Through this program, the Triscuit brand is supporting a more circular pack economy in the United States and Canada by obtaining recycled plastics using the ISCC mass balance approach. This advances Mondeléz Internationals objective of having roughly 5% of its plastic come from recycled sources by 2025. Soft plastic packaging was once thought to be a one-time use item.

According to the companies, it was created to satisfy the Confederation of European Papers (CEPI) sustainability criteria.
