Walmart is expected to fall short of its 2025 packaging sustainability targets. The retail giant cited external challenges, including the scalability of recyclable materials, public policy for materials management systems, infrastructure development, and societal behavior changes as reasons for its shortcomings.The company set a global goal in 2016 to ensure that all of its private brand packaging would be recyclable by 2025. In 2019, this commitment was expanded to include packaging that is recyclable, reusable, or industrially compostable.
