John,

Beaches are choked by plastic, soda bottles bobbing on the water as wrappers wash ashore in waves of trash.

An estimated 5% of this plastic pollution was produced by one company: Pepsi.1

When you're the second largest corporate producer of plastic waste on the planet, plastic reduction should be priority #1, but instead Pepsi just abandoned previously established goals to cut plastic production.2,3

Pepsi must do more to reduce plastic pollution: Add your name to our petition.

Plastic pollution is set to double by 2050 if we don't make serious changes and fast.4

We can do our best as individuals to limit our reliance on plastic -- using reusable water bottles or opting for glass soda bottles instead of plastic -- but personal actions can only get us so far, especially when a mere 60 companies are responsible for half of the world's plastic pollution.5

Companies like Pepsi have contributed to our plastic pollution problem. Call on Pepsi to be part of the solution.

In 2021, Pepsi released a series of packaging sustainability goals that would have emphasized reusable packaging. But the company just backtracked on many of these goals and completely canceled efforts to invest in more reusable packaging.6

These revised goals are simply not enough.

We don't need to live on a planet buried in plastic. But to avoid this fate, companies like Pepsi need to take the reins and commit to meaningful change.

Tell Pepsi: Don't go back on your commitments.

Thank you,

Lisa Frank
Executive Director
