Thischange represents an annual savings ofapproximately 1.1 million pounds ofresin. In 2011, we have plans to expandour use of rPET in countries outside theU.S. by more than 2.5 million pounds.25Create partnershipsthat promote theincrease of U.S. beveragecontainer recycling ratesto 50 percent by 2018.We’re creating national partnershipsand developing new technologies to34 PepsiCo, Inc. 2010 Annual Report
