PEPSICO IN PROBLEMS
TO CONTAMINATE
◦ One of the most contributing to the pollution of the oceans with single-use plastics is
PepsiCo.

◦ About 100,000 pieces or portions of plastic collected were made of materials that are
impossible or very difficult to recycle, such as single-use plastic bottles.

◦ The 80% of the 8,300 million metric tons of plastic produced since 1950 still lingers in the
environment, mainly in the oceans. Since then, only 9% of that amount of plastic has
been recycled properly and 12% incinerated.
◦ In May, the multinational PepsiCo, a world leader in the food industry that
produces drinks and snaks, was sanctioned with the closure of its facilities in
the town of Olivos, when it was found that hazardous chemicals were being
dumped into a stream through clandestine pipes.
◦ The discharge of industrial effluents to the outside of the company was verified,
by means of a splice or bypass that led to the rainwater network, avoiding the
treatment plant and the tipping sector authorized by the Control Authority.
◦ It was also proven that the spills contained organic matter such as starch,
animal fatty acids, oleic acid, palmitic acid and fecal matter, which implied a
serious health risk to health and the environment.
◦ PepsiCo United Kingdom is
committed to reducing emissions
from its agricultural supply chains
by 50% in five years.

◦ Globally, PepsiCo has reached a

quarter of its goal by 2025 in
relation to water refueling: 2.7
million liters that have been
supplied to river basins at risk. In
addition, it has managed to ensure
access to drinking water to more
than 2 million people in 2016 (thus
raising that amount to a total of 11
million people in the period
between 2006 and 2016).
