Today, less is the new more. When it comes to the environment, the less we create the more we help preserve nature and our natural resources. That is why Yoplait is committed to looking for ways to reduce the impact of our packaging on the environment.

Packaging Reduction

We are making big strides in reducing the amount of plastic in our yogurt cups. We have introduced a new oval-shaped cup design in club stores that uses less plastic and allows us to ship the cups closer together. This design has already saved more than two million pounds of plastic per year and we will be rolling it out more broadly in the near future.

This is significant progress, but we know we still have more to do. That’s why we are working diligently to reduce the amount of plastic in all of our yogurt cups. Over the next two years, our goal is to reduce the amount of plastic that gets released into the environment by nine million pounds annually. This is no easy feat, but our team is committed to making it happen for the good of the planet.

Journey of Sustainability

At Yoplait we are making significant progress in reducing our environmental impact. Sustainability, however, is a long-term journey. To that end, our packaging developers are working hard internally and partnering externally to try to find ways to make our cups more sustainable in the future. We are constantly evaluating new materials and new processes that we believe will lead to breakthrough packaging formats that are even better for the environment.
