DALLAS — By 2025, snack lovers should be able to worry less about the environment when buying bags of Lay’s, Cheetos, Doritos and more.
As part of parent company PepsiCo’s Pep+ initiative — which aims to make 100% of packaging recyclable, compostable, biodegradable or reusable by 2025 — Frito-Lay and Quaker found a way to speed up sustainability innovation with a new Greenhouse Learning Center at its research and development headquarters in Plano.
The company’s goal is to develop a chip bag that can be composted at home, rather than sent off to an industrial facility.
