04 Oct 2019 --- Ingredients supplier Cargill has reduced the amount of plastic used in its vegetable oil bottles and containers by over 2.5 million pounds (680,000 kg) globally. Different strategies have been used in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America – the four geographies in which Cargill’s edible oils are manufactured. These include using new bottling technology and adding in recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic. The move comes as Cargill acknowledges that plastic packaging is a growing concern for many of its customers and consumers because of plastic waste pollution and the environmental impact of producing it.
