Pallets made with UBQ, a material made from unsorted household waste, could soon replace the conventional pallets currently in use at PepsiCo LatAm.
Developed by Israeli startup UBQ, UBQ material is a bio-based thermoplastic converted from 100% unsorted municipal solid waste, including mixed plastics, paper, cardboard, and organics, and is suitable to replace conventional polymers in various durable applications. In Brazil, PepsiCo is now exploring the use of this material in the production of eco-pallets.
The pallets are being developed by PepsiCo's partner Ecoboxes Embalagens Plásticas, a company specialised in solutions focused on sustainability and circular economy.
