The shareholder solutions are well -proceeded with a lot of proposals aimed at using CPG, food service and packaging of hotel companies.
Lee GRoups We have focused on plastic packaging for many years and the subject continues. This time, there are categories such as flexibility and reusable packaging. The company has an option to challenge the resolution with the Securities and Exchange Commission, but so far, several proposals have been accompanied by potential voting. The group has also reached a contract to withdraw its proposals from several companies.
sinuous
As a shareholder advocate, we decided to focus on Flexibles after a relatively lack of achievement of 2025 plastic targets set through groups such as US Plastics Pact and Ellen Macarthur Foundation.
“We think we need some responsibility when we miss the deadline.” “If you look at the continuous struggle to recycle easy things, such as pet patients, I wonder how you will soon achieve a lot of flexible recycling at any time.”
Flexibles and Films often appear as a company’s challenge that allows you to recycle the packaging portfolio further due to multi -material design and other factors.
Under the language request of the lawsuit, the company uses the impossible packaging to develop a report on “reputation, financial and operating risk”, removes this packaging material and removes replacement that can be reused, and explains the opportunity to study and develop reuse that can be reused as a single package alternative. “
PEPSICO has called for the SEC to be disqualified as the SEC is suggested, and now the shareholders recommend voting against it. According to the company, in 2023, “Flexible Films consisted only about 5% of the total packaging portfolio, and is optimized to safely provide certain snacks with relatively low greenhouse gases and water footprints.”
Kraft Heinz also advised shareholders to vote against this proposal, and pointed out that the recycling of many countries that we sell has not yet developed enough to be able to collect, recycle, and convert this material as a final product that can be executed.
Both companies participated in various voluntary initiatives and cited the recycling and study of the materials and participation in the upcoming State EPR program. Both mentioned investments in composting packaging. PEPSICO said that it was successful with paper -based packaging, but it was not successful if it had to use high barriers.
In some cases, the company hopes to be a solution for flexible packaging in terms of flexible flexibility and recycled content in the process of recycling chemical recycling, but the technology is not yet activated. Mackerron is not sure that the solution is “low in the actual yield,” and it is difficult to know how much material is changing with plastic -to -fuel. “We don’t know because most people don’t disclose,” he said.
Mackerron mentioned the initial progress of standardizing and reporting risk disclosure through CPG, packaging and petrochemical company groups that work on the “responsible production guidelines” along with US Plastics Pact. Participating companies have not yet confirmed themselves in the process.
Reuse
Adopting more reusable packaging is a continuous focus on shareholder advocacy.
Coca-cola Co. has recently been criticized for withdrawing pledges for the 25% reuse of packaging by approving various recycling goals by 2030. Green Century Funds recently announced that the company agreed to withdraw its resolution after the agreement to disclose the constant investment in reuse and the results of these efforts.
Green Chairman Leslie Samuelrich said, “Coca -Cola regretted the decrease in plastic and reuse, but this new promise to disclose reusable packaging investment will help investors to trace the company’s efforts to alleviate the risk of plastic.
Daniel Hughes, director of Sustainability of Communication of COCA-COLA, said, “We are investing and continuing to expand the refillable packaging options, and this will continue to be part of the consumer-centered strategy. He took the case and mentioned that he grew at the speed of “surpassing the entire company.”
The Green Century also announced a similar contract to Starbucks, and the company announced that it agreed to share actions and plans to increase the adoption of reusable cups by early 2026. ” The coffee chain has recently expanded its encouragement to reusable ceramic mugs and has also participated in other test programs.
Starbucks did not respond to the request.
Recycling
Green Century’s STARBUCKS proposals dealt with another major topic this year, Recyclability Labeling and Pledges.
According to the group, Starbucks also agreed to “evaluate the possibility of recycling customer face -to -face recycling internally and agreed to” removing labels with misunderstandings. “
The fund has also announced a contract with the only known converter, Sealed AIR, which has a resolution related to packaging by this year.
The company, which makes plastic protection packaging and other products, has been changing business recently. Green Century has reached a contract with In Sealed Air and has signed a step -by -step use of the “store drop -off” recycling label by the end of the year. Environmental groups have previously questioned the efficacy of the store drop -off system and whether there is a misunderstanding for consumers.
The group also said that by 2026, the group agreed to reveal investment in total plastic and textile footprints and non -plastic packaging options by 2026. “
The latest sustainability report of the sealed AIR did not disclose the destruction of the substrate. As of December 2023, the recycling content derived from plastic or fibers accounted for 14%of the weighted materials, and “the content derived from the VIRGIN FIBER or newly produced other biological -based materials accounted for 3%of the sold materials.”
The sealed air did not respond to the request.
The last beach cleaning, which is a non -profit organization, also targeted Kraft Heinz, a proposal to issue a report, including the fact that the company was “all recyclable for plastic packaging and the facts of the legitimacy of recycling contents claims.” Kraft Heinz said, “We have opposed the proposal for various reasons, including a statement that there are strict internal measures designed to help our pack claims help not to mislead consumers.
In addition, the final beach theorem submitted to Mondelēz as the first suggestion to issue a report that includes the facts that include the facts of all recycling contents claims for plastic packaging. This proposal quoted Mondelēz’s recent decision on plastic sources related to chemical recycling through the Mass Balance accounting approach to a specific trisket packaging. Mondelēz opposes the suggestion.
The possibility of recycling also appeared in another 2025 proposal as you sprayed. This includes a resolution to ask the hotel chain Wyndham and Hyatt about plastic reduction plans, both withdrawn with the contract with the company. The hotel division has seen the driving force for the refill or larger form of car wash, which is led by state law in recent years.
Similar proposals have been abolished in recent years in recent years and have been abolished in stages and opposed to resolution, and Wendy’s S.

Editor’s Note: This story has been updated to include additional proposals submitted to Mondelēz.
