Mondelez focuses on environment protection

As part of its efforts to lower environmental impact and develop a circular economy model, Mondelez International (USA) has announced its commitment to making all its packaging recyclable by 2025.

All paper-based packaging will be sustainably sourced and 65 million kg of packaging material worldwide will be eliminated by 2020.

Most of the packaging used by Mondelez is already recycled, recyclable or recycle-ready. Around 75% of its packaging consists of glass, paper or metal and around 70% of paper-based packaging is from recycled sources.

In the UK, Cadbury Heroes tubs have been redesigned to use 17% less plastic; in Asia, Middle East and Africa, improvements to secondary packs have saved more than 1 million kg of corrugated paper; and in the US, Oreo cookies packaging has been made 23% thinner, reducing the need for nearly 1.5 million kg of cartons annually.
