(PIN) PEPSICO ENDS TERRACYCLE SCHEME

PepsiCo chip brand Walkers is ending its UK recycling scheme with TerraCycle.

The waste management company launched the scheme in 2018 and collected millions of waste chip packets. However, industry experts have criticized the scheme for putting the onus on consumers to meticulously separate trash with no evidence of recycling success ever being made public.

Walkers has funded the creation of the brand-new football pitch on home Leicester turf. The pitch is also the first-of-its-kind in the UK.

It’s built from empty crisp packets collected from recycling partnerships, which have been used to create the underlying layer beneath the turf of the pitch - more like this - link - Cool as Leicester - link  - green queen - link - more like this - link
