Blending sustainability and science, this custom greenhouse showcases PepsiCo’s cutting-edge packaging innovations in a functional, hands-on demonstration space.
PROJECT DETAILS
Johnston partnered with PepsiCo’s Packaging Research and Development team to design a unique greenhouse facility dedicated to the demonstration and testing of innovative biodegradation technologies. This purpose-built structure supports PepsiCo’s commitment to sustainability by providing a hands-on environment for evaluating the real-world performance of next-generation packaging materials.
The greenhouse features a durable glass and steel construction that maximizes natural light while supporting a variety of research and demonstration activities. Inside, the space is equipped with raised soil beds, composting tumblers, and specialized equipment designed for controlled biodegradation studies. Accessible utility connections and flexible infrastructure allow the R&D team to adapt the space to evolving technologies and test protocols.
Designed as both a functional research environment and an educational showcase, the facility allows stakeholders to observe biodegradation processes firsthand, reinforcing PepsiCo’s leadership in sustainable packaging innovation. Johnston LLC’s integrated design approach ensured the space met both technical and operational needs, while creating a modern and efficient research environment aligned with the client’s vision.
