Target has made commitments to sustainability and on April 18, 2017 announced five new sustainable packaging goals. One of these sustainability goals is to “eliminate expanded polystyrene from our owned brand packaging by 2022.” They recognize that polystyrene is a challenge in many ways—including the difficulties recycling it for both their guests and distributing centers as well as its ties to ocean plastic pollution and possible health effects. Target is going to work closely with their suppliers and other partners to find better options for their packaging.
