Mondelēz International Makes Progress Toward Packaging Goals with Advanced Recycling Technology in Triscuit Packaging*
Mondelēz International has announced a significant advancement in sustainable packaging for its Triscuit Crackers brand in the U.S. and Canada. The company will now source plastic linked to advanced recycling technology for the majority of Triscuit SKUs, contributing to its goal of achieving about 5% recycled plastic content by 2025. Up to 50% of the plastic used in the protective bag-in-box liner films can be attributed to this technology through the ISCC PLUS certified mass balance approach.
This initiative aims to divert over one million pounds of plastic waste from landfills per year. The outer box is already made from 100% recycled paperboard. Mondelēz has partnered with Berry Global Group and LyondellBasell for this effort. The Triscuit brand is also working towards sourcing wheat more sustainably and supporting monarch butterfly conservation and future farmers.

Insights
Mondelēz International's adoption of advanced recycling technology for Triscuit packaging marks a significant step towards sustainable packaging solutions. By sourcing up to 50% of plastic from advanced recycling for bag-in-box liner films, they're addressing the challenge of soft plastic recycling. This initiative could potentially divert over one million pounds of plastic waste from landfills annually, contributing to their goal of
The use of ISCC PLUS certified mass balance approach is commendable, as it promotes transparency and traceability in recycled content. However, it's important to note that advanced recycling technologies are still evolving and their overall environmental impact needs careful assessment. While this move signals progress, achieving true circularity will require continued innovation and systemic changes in plastic production and waste management.
Mondelēz's strategic move with Triscuit packaging aligns with growing consumer demand for sustainable products. This initiative could potentially enhance brand loyalty and attract environmentally conscious consumers, potentially boosting market share in the competitive snack sector. The company's holistic approach, including sustainable wheat sourcing and community giveback programs, demonstrates a commitment to ESG principles that may resonate with investors.
However, the financial implications of this transition aren't explicitly stated. Investors should consider potential impacts on production costs and pricing strategies. While the environmental benefits are clear, the direct impact on Triscuit's sales and Mondelēz's bottom line remains to be seen. This move could set a precedent for the industry, potentially influencing competitor strategies and regulatory trends in packaging sustainability.
Mondelēz's partnership with Berry Global Group and LyondellBasell for this initiative is a strategic move in supply chain management. By collaborating with ISCC PLUS certified manufacturers, they're ensuring credibility and traceability in their recycled content sourcing. This approach could potentially streamline their supply chain by reducing dependence on virgin plastics and mitigating risks associated with fluctuating oil prices.
However, the scalability and long-term viability of advanced recycling technologies remain uncertain. The success of this initiative will heavily depend on the efficiency of plastic waste collection and processing systems. Mondelēz will need to closely monitor the reliability and consistency of this new supply chain to ensure it can meet the demands of large-scale production without compromising product quality or safety.

“We are excited to implement this innovative technology for Triscuit cracker packaging,” said Caitlin Schell, Marketing Director for the Triscuit brand. “The Triscuit brand supports Mondelēz International’s strategic focus of working toward driving change where the world needs it most. By embracing advanced recycling technology for our product, we are not only helping to reduce reliance on fossil materials but also helping to support the company’s longer-term aim for a more circular economy for packaging at large.”
“We believe that sourcing material linked to advanced recycling technologies (mass balance) helps send a signal to the broader industry and can help to drive collection, sortation, and processing of more plastic waste,” said Lou Fenech, Research Fellow, Packaging Sustainability at Mondelēz International. “We strive to continually enhance our packaging with the aim of supporting a more circular economy for packaging. We do this through reducing and evolving packaging, improving systems, and leveraging innovative partnerships.”
The new Triscuit brand packaging is now available in supermarkets in the U.S. and Canada. Mondelēz International has partnered with packaging and plastics industry leaders Berry Global Group, Inc. (NYSE: BERY) and LyondellBasell (NYSE: LYB) on this effort, whose manufacturing sites have been officially certified by ISCC PLUS.
Beyond sourcing ISCC PLUS certified packaging, the Triscuit brand has continued to make progress toward becoming a more sustainable brand. The brand´s ambition is to source the wheat used in its crackers more sustainably, make packaging better for both the people and planet, and give back to the American communities, including the farmers who grow the wheat found in Triscuit brand crackers.
The brand has actively worked to gather on-farm data to improve measurement of environmental metrics like water and greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions while identifying key impact areas for improvement in both precision and conservation agriculture. The Triscuit brand has and will continue to support Joint Monarch Venture to help monarch butterfly conservation. Through this partnership, the brand enables habitat conservations, including restoring and enhancing pollinator habitat within farmlands where wheat sourced for Triscuit crackers is grown.
In addition to these efforts, the Triscuit brand is focused on supporting America’s future farmers. In 2023, the brand donated
