Top 10 "Green Accelerator Projects" of PepsiCo in the Asia-Pacific Region

From April 23rd to 24th, DataBeyond Technology was invited to attend the launching ceremony of PepsiCo's 2025 "Green Accelerator" Asia-Pacific region. The event was held at the JW Marriott Hotel in Shanghai, and in the fierce competition of more than 200 companies in the Asia-Pacific region, DataBeyond Technology successfully ranked among the top ten with its innovative strength. During the event, PepsiCo representatives held in-depth dialogues with a number of leading companies in the environmental protection industry, focusing on core topics such as the construction of circular economy models, technological breakthroughs in climate action, and sustainable agriculture practice paths.

"Join hands with PepsiCo" to address environmental challenges through technological innovation

As a benchmark in the global food and beverage industry, PepsiCo has launched a series of sustainable development strategic initiatives. The "Green Accelerator" program was initially launched in North America and later expanded to the Asia-Pacific region, aiming to identify "industry dark horses" with disruptive innovation capabilities and high growth, establish a cooperative ecosystem, and jointly promote key missions such as reducing the use of virgin plastics, reducing carbon emissions in the industrial chain, and achieving 100% sustainable packaging.

The selected companies will receive multi-dimensional empowerment provided by PepsiCo, including the guidance of a top mentor team, the support of special acceleration funds, and in-depth cooperation opportunities such as docking with top investment institutions and industrial chain resources to help the selected companies achieve leapfrog growth.

What is PepsiCo Holding Plan (PEP+)? What is Pepsi Positive Plan (PEP+)?

The Green Accelerator is an important extension of PepsiCo's PEP+ program, which focuses on three pillars: Agriculture, Value Chain and Product.

It is worth mentioning that the entrepreneurial process of DataBeyond Technology provides a vivid annotation for the "positive plan". Mo Zhuoya, founder and CEO of DataBeyond Technology, recalled that it was precisely because she witnessed elderly front-line workers sorting garbage with their bare hands in the harsh environment of high temperature, stuffiness, and dirt, and even their fingers were often injured by sharp objects, which prompted her to make up her mind to use the power of technology to promote the transformation of the renewable resources industry. Although there were imported high-end intelligent sorting equipment on the market at that time, its high cost discouraged most renewable resource recycling companies.

With its excellent sorting performance and inclusive price, it has been quickly promoted to thousands of waste plastic packaging stations and green sorting centers in China and Southeast Asia, which not only solves the problem of "bottle-to-bottle" data traceability from the front end, but also helps the industrial chain greatly reduce the use of virgin plastics, providing a practical and reliable technical fulcrum for PepsiCo's sustainable development goal of "reducing the use of virgin plastics in beverage products by 50% by 2030".
