Packaging and Plastics

We work hard to use packaging that does more than protect our products and delight our consumers. At Mondelēz International, we strive to continually improve our packaging with the long-term aim of advancing our support for a more circular economy for packaging. We aim to remove unnecessary packaging and simplify packaging materials across the business. Our three-part strategy includes:

Reducing Packaging by aiming to utilize packaging that is lightweight, safe and, where appropriate can be reused or recycled.

Evolving Packaging involves aiming to design our packaging to be recyclable, removing problematic materials, and including recycled plastic, where appropriate, to help reduce packaging waste. Our goal is to use packaging that is designed to be recyclable and continue to use recycled content.

Improving Systems means supporting the development of infrastructure and capabilities with the aim of being able to collect the packaging we place on the market. We support the implementation of effective policy and optimal Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) that helps enable the development of collection systems for all types of packaging. We are collaborating with other companies, policymakers, investors and other key actors to help advance this work.

We have many examples of actions we are taking to help advance sustainable packaging. Highlights include:
