As a company that uses more than<a href=\"https:\/\/ellenmacarthurfoundation.org\/global-commitment\/signatory-reports\/ppu\/pepsico\"> five billion pounds of plastic<\/a> in its packaging each year, we need PepsiCo to do more to end its reliance on big oil and shift away from single-use plastics. PepsiCo failed to seize the moment to set a higher target than their rival Coca-Cola and commit to 50% reuse by 2030. Big brands need to embrace reuse so that we can achieve the low carbon, zero-waste economy that our planet, communities, and climate desperately need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>&nbsp;Media contacts:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace Africa Press Desk: pressdesk.africa@greenpeace.org&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Hellen Dena, <\/strong><br>Communications and Story Manager, <br>hdena@greenpeace.org, +254 717 104 144<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cAs one of the top global plastic polluters, PepsiCo\u2019s announcement is a small step to tackle the plastic and climate crisis.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":51065,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"p4_og_title":"","p4_og_description":"","p4_og_image":"","p4_og_image_id":"","p4_seo_canonical_url":"","p4_campaign_name":"not set","p4_local_project":"not set","p4_basket_name":"not set","p4_department":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32,33],"tags":[30,40,46],"p4-page-type":[14],"class_list":["post-52871","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-changemycommunity","category-protecttheenvironment","tag-plastics","tag-conservation","tag-greenpeaceafrica","p4-page-type-press"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52871","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52871"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52871\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":52872,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52871\/revisions\/52872"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51065"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52871"},{"taxonomy":"p4-page-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/africa\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/p4-page-type?post=52871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
