Friend,

You see plastic pollution everywhere -- on the beach, in the park, floating in the ocean -- and the problem is only growing worse.

To keep our planet safe from plastic, we need to stop using so much of it in our everyday products. One place we can start? Plastic bottles, like the kind our soda, water and iced tea come in.

As one of the leading beverage companies in North America, the maker of Dr Pepper, 7-Up and Snapple can help by sparking an industry-wide shift away from single-use plastic bottles.

Tell Keurig Dr Pepper: Take single-use plastic out of your products.

Keurig Dr Pepper owns 7-Up, Canada Dry, A&W, Evian and Snapple, in addition to Keurig and Dr Pepper. All those beverage brands require a lot of plastic -- as much as 208,000 metric tons of plastic packaging in 2018 alone.1

The company is beginning to take steps in the right direction. It's announced plans to use 25% post-consumer recycled content in its plastic packaging by 2025.2 But other companies are committed to going even further, including Keurig Dr Pepper's own competitors.3

These commitments will help. But what our planet is really counting on is a complete shift away from single-use plastic packaging. And Keurig Dr Pepper is already experimenting with what that might look like.4

Call on Keurig Dr Pepper to stop packaging its products in single-use plastic.

Recycling our plastics isn't enough. Because plastic degrades during the recycling process, recycled plastics often can't be recycled again -- meaning recycling is only delaying the inevitable of that bottle ending up in a landfill or polluting our environment.5

That's why it's time to switch to more sustainable packaging alternatives, such as reusable, refillable or compostable packaging.

For the sake of our planet and all the turtles, dolphins, whales and more that call it home, we need to do what it takes to keep plastic waste out of our environment.

Add your voice to convince Keurig Dr Pepper to take single-use plastics out of its packaging and spark a shift in the beverage industry.

Thank you,

Ellen Montgomery
