Frito-Lay & Quaker Open New Industry-Leading Greenhouse Learning Center To Fast-Track Sustainable Packaging Innovation

headquarters. The Learning Center will be used to field test, measure, and analyze compostable packaging in an effort to accelerate the pace of innovation. By designing all packaging to be recyclable, compostable, biodegradable, or reusable by 2025, the business will have achieved a major milestone toward realizing its PepsiCo Positive packaging target.

As packaging formulations are improved, the R&D packaging team will use the Greenhouse Learning Center to test the biodegradation characteristics of compostable packages in various environments in order to accelerate learning, validate lab results through simultaneous, real-time experiments, and iterate packaging solutions more quickly.

In order to enhance the packaging process, the research and development teams at Frito-Lay and Quaker have been collaborating and developing partnerships for many years. The evolution of Frito-Lay and Quaker’s compostable packaging has continued since the release of the first commercially available, 100% compostable chip bags in 2010.

Based on the knowledge gained from the introduction of the next-generation, commercially compostable packaging offered by Off The Eaten Path, the firm unveiled additional choices manufactured from 85% renewable plant materials that emit about 60% less greenhouse gas than conventional snack bags. Going forward, the company will concentrate on packaging that is biodegradable and can be composted at home, and research conducted at the Greenhouse Learning Center will be important in this regard.
