Tell Sysco: Reduce your use of plastic packaging

Sysco CEO Kevin Hourican,

As the largest food distribution company in America, Sysco could make a huge impact on the amount of plastic waste entering the world by reducing its use of plastic packaging.

Cutting back on plastic food packaging isn’t just a matter of sustainability. It’s also an important way we can protect our health. Researchers have found plastic particles in bottled water and other kinds of food and drink, indicating that food and drink packaged in plastic may contain more plastic than we previously thought.

Sysco’s shareholders have voted overwhelmingly for the company to reduce its use of plastic. And your company already offers some exciting sustainable packaging options. I strongly urge you to commit to an even more sustainable future by phasing out as much single-use plastic packaging as possible from your operations.
