well as bigger F&B companies, are already using bioplastic for their
packaging applications. In 2013, companies such as Coca-Cola, Heinz, P&G,
and Unilever among others joined the World Wildlife Fund to introduce the
Bioplastic Feedstock Alliance. Also, Nestle is making use of bioplastics such
as bio-PE, bio-PET, and PLA for food packaging. In August 2018, Iceland Foods
Ltd., a U.K. based supermarket chain announced its plans to eliminate the use
of plastic packaging by 2023. This is expected to impact several F&B
suppliers to move towards bioplastic packaging. In February 2017, PepsiCo. Inc.
partnered with Danimer Scientific to develop biodegradable film resins for
PepsiCo's F&B business. This agreement was a part of PepsiCo's 2025
sustainability agenda focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
