DuPont™ Tyvek® Subtex Case Study

Pepsi

PepsiCo India is striding ahead rapidly towards enabling the

global vision to be the world's premier consumer products
company focused on convenience foods and beverages.
PepsiCo India seeks to produce healthy financial rewards for
investors as it provide opportunities for growth and
enrichment to its employees, business partners and the
communities in which it operates.

Effective and environmentally friendly disposal of municipal

waste is a major challenge for local Government bodies. In
partnership with the Government, NGOs and community
members, PepsiCo India continues to implement waste
management projects in various districts in the country.

For its new bottling plants in Hyderabad, Mumbai and

Gujarat Pepsi chose DuPont™ Tyvek® Subtex on the basis
of superior performance and standardized installation methodology and was selected as the ideal
insulation to be used in manufacturing plant likely to store food and beverage products
