The progress of General Mills, which can recycle the entire packaging portfolio, or reusable reuse, is reported more than a year ago.
The food company repeatedly promised to achieve 100% by 2030, the goal of early 2019, in the 2025 global responsibility report published this month. But the next step can be tricky, especially when considering the impact of greenhouse gas emissions.
“In order to greatly develop 2030 ambitions, we know that the transition to more easily recyclable packages can have a higher GHG impact.” The company said it will continue to cooperate with the supplier.
General Mills emphasized various plastic liners from certain frozen breakfast items and converting seasoning mixes into monomer packaging.
By number
93%
The percentage of recyclable or reusable general Mills packaging (excluding some international markets).
13%
The percentage of the packaging portfolio of the plastic general Mills. This reflects £ 165 million in General Mills’s portfolio, most of which are flexible plastic.
General Mills did not respond to the request for recycling stagnation.
The Minnie Police -based CPG brand includes numerous serials, snack bars, yogurt, baking mixes and frozen foods. Despite the slightly rising plastics in fiscal year in 2024, the fibers that end on May 26 remain the ratio of lions in the packaging portfolio. The portfolio was 73% fiber, 13% plastic, 7% steel, 4% glass, 2% composite can and 1% aluminum.
The company focuses on converting its main focus on flexible plastic packaging, and its focus on switching from multiple material packaging to mono -PE, and to date, £ 46 million has been shifted to date. In the plastic packaging portfolio, the ratio of multi -major to mono -PE is now the same.
As with last year, General Mills discussed the challenges with recycling content: “Most plastic is a direct food contact flexibility packaging, and there are no safe food grade (PCR) alternatives that can be widely used.
The company continues to improve data methods, including better tracking recycling content and reducing packaging. For example, FY2024 began to consider packaging external supply chain.
Nevertheless, the future sustainability report has shown that the flexible and hard plastics play a small role in the packaging portfolio.
