Partner Spotlight
We know real progress requires collaboration with multiple stakeholders, from industry partners to nongovernmental organizations to local governments and beyond. We’re proud to highlight a few partners with whom we work to eliminate packaging waste and drive toward a circular economy. Click on each logo to learn more about our impact together.
-
We collaborate with The Recycling Partnership to improve recycling across America. Our investment of more than $1 million since 2016 helped bring more and better recycling to 490 communities, equipping them with best practices, tools and education to make recycling easier. Through the new West Coast Contamination Initiative, we’re specifically helping California, Oregon and Washington reduce contamination with curbside collection programs so that more material can be recycled into new products in the U.S., supporting local economies and job creation.
-
We were one of the first investors in the Closed Loop Fund, investing $10 million over 10 years to address bottlenecks in the recycling system. The fund provides zero- or low-interest loans to public and private entities to expand and enhance recycling infrastructure and sustainable manufacturing technologies to advance the circular economy. Our investment has led to the reduction of over 800,000 tons of waste to landfill, improving recycling opportunities for almost 4 million households.
-
We are Principal Members of the World Wildlife Fund’s ReSource: Plastic activation hub, alongside peers from the beverage, food services, consumer goods and packaging industries. We will use this hub as a roadmap to measure our actions, learn from others, continually improve and keep valuable plastics in a circular economy. This platform will help turn ambitious commitments into real, measurable action.
-
We are members of the How2Recycle standardized labeling system, which communicates recycling instructions clearly on packaging. By providing simple, consistent guidance on how to recycle, we avoid confusion and empower our consumers to take active steps to easily recycle our products. All of our recyclable K-Cup® pods will use the How2Recycle label as we expand availability in the U.S. in 2019 – joining the growing number of products and packages utilizing this standardized approach to improve recycling behaviors.
