Recycling initiatives continue to be one of the most active sustainability areas, driven by challenging Plastic Pacts around the world that are part of a three-pronged objective to deliver 100% recyclable packaging by 2025. Pending packaging taxes that require 30% recycled content are influencing change as well as the focus on stretching recycling targets.

Mars Wrigley China has announced the introduction of its first fully PCR rPET(post-consumer recycled polyethylene terephthalate) packaging. The packaging is for their Cui Xiang Mi (CXM) chocolate brand. After launching the packaging for CXM, Mars Wrigley China plans to provide the rPET lid for brands such as Snickers and M&M’s this year. Through this, the manufacturer aims to save 300 metric tons of virgin plastics in a year. The use of rPET for packaging is part of Mars Wrigley China’s wider efforts to make its packaging reusable, recyclable or compostable. Last year, Mars China partnered with other industrial leaders and national associations to launch Flexible Plastics Reborn. This initiative was claimed to be China’s first industry-wide flexible collection pilot, the program aims to collect 50,000 metric tons of flexible packaging waste by the end of 2025.
