What is Walmart doing to help minimize packaging waste?

Our ambition is to accelerate a transition to 100% reusable, recyclable, or industrially compostable packaging. We have set a goal to achieve this ambition for Walmart private brand packaging by 2025 and are currently at 67%.

We are also working to use more sustainable inputs and have set the following goals to support this:

• Achieve 20% post-consumer recycled content in Walmart’s private-brand product packaging in North America by 2025.
• Achieve 17% post-consumer recycled content in Walmart’s private-brand product packaging globally by 2025.
• Reduce Walmart’s virgin plastic footprint by 15% (vs. a 2020 baseline).
