PepsiCo opens its first 'green' plant in China
Just days after Coca-Cola Co. announced the opening of two new plants in China, rival PepsiCo said Friday it had opened its first overseas "green" plant in that nation.
Pepsi's new beverage plant, part of a broader plan to invest $1 billion in China, is in the western city of Chongqing.
Pepsi said it is the first beverage plant in China to comply with the sustainable engineering standards known as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), set by the Green Building Council.
During the next two years in China, Pepsi expects to open five new beverage manufacturing plants.
