Through its Dream Machine recycling initiative, PepsiCo has made its second $500,000 donation to the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities (EBV), a national programme offering career training, education and job creation for post-9/11 US veterans with disabilities.
PepsiCo will present a check during a ceremony following the first quarter of the Veterans Day football game at Syracuse University, home to the Whitman School of Management and Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF), which operates the EBV programme.
Through the Dream Machine initiative, PepsiCo is committed to contributing $500,000 per year to the EBV. The Dream Machine recycling initiative, created by PepsiCo in collaboration with Waste Management and Keep America Beautiful, is introducing thousands of recycling kiosks and bins at popular public locations across North America.
The kiosks are computerised receptacles that include a personal reward system, powered by Greenopolis, which allows consumers to earn points for every bottle or can they recycle in the kiosk. Those points can then be redeemed for local discounts on entertainment, dining and travel.
